The flocks that were investigated constitute the total goat and sheep population of the islands Alonissos, Scopelos and Skiathos. From each flock a random sample of adult animals was examined that constituted the 20% to 38% of the total population of each flock. Blood and faeces samples were examined from each animal. Blood sera were tested for antibodies against M. paratuberculosis and Maedi-Visna virus by AGID test.
