The figure <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> left shows <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> amplificati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> positive sample<br />

CONCLUSIONS<br />

In order to compare <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> sensitivity <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> four PCR methods for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> detecti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> MAP, we tested<br />

bulk milk samples derived for presumably infected herds (ELISA positive). As expected <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

most sensitive method was Nested PCR, while c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al PCR and Real Time PCR<br />

showed lower sensitivity. Although more sensitive, Nested PCR method remains difficult to<br />

apply because is time c<strong>on</strong>suming and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>re are high risks <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> cross-c<strong>on</strong>taminati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
