| description | Paratuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP). This study aimed at determining the presence of antibodies against MAP, and the association between the serological status of MAP and individual factors in goats and sheep in a flock in Antioquia, Colombia. We studied fifty-three goats and 6 sheep over two years old, and took blood samples to obtain serum and information on individual factors. The presence of antibodies against MAP was determined by ELISA, whereas the information was descriptively analyzed. ELISA did not detect any positive or suspect animal among the 59 tested animals, so an association between serological status to MAP and individual factors could not be established. This is the first and the fourth study reporting the search for antibodies against MAP in a goat and in a sheep population in Colombia, respectively. Several factors may explain the serological status of the sampled animals. It is necessary to continue with similar studies in other flocks of the region and the country to determine the current MAP infection status in small ruminants in Colombia. |

La paratuberculosis es una enfermedad infecciosa crónica causada por Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la seroprevalencia de MAP y la asociación existente entre el estatus serológico a MAP y factores individuales en cabras y ovejas de un aprisco en Antioquia, Colombia. Se estudiaron 53 caprinos y 6 ovinos mayores a dos años de edad, de los cuales se tomó información sobre factores individuales y una muestra de sangre para obtener suero sanguíneo. La presencia de anticuerpos contra MAP se determinó por medio de una prueba de ELISA, mientras que la información se analizó descriptivamente. La prueba de ELISA no detectó ningún animal positivo o sospechoso entre los 59 analizados, por lo que no se pudo establecer asociación entre el estatus serológico a MAP y factores individuales. Este es el primer estudio que reporta la búsqueda de anticuerpos contra MAP en una población caprina, y el cuarto en una población ovina en Colombia. Diversos factores pueden explicar el estatus serológico de los animales muestreados. Es necesario continuar con estudios similares en otros apriscos de la región y del país para determinar el estatus real de la infección en pequeños rumiantes en Colombia.
