Paratuberculosis is diagnosed in wild ruminants from the wild and game parks sporadically. However in deer farms and in the zoological gardens this disease seems to be a serious problem around the world. Infection caused by M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis (M. paratuberculosis) is difficult to reveal so as to eliminate it from infected farm because of the frequent subclinical presentation of the disease and low sensitivity of intravital diagnostic tests. In the Czech Republic, paratuberculosis was diagnosed only in 30 animals from 802 examined wild ruminants in the years 1995 and 1998. M. paratuberculosis was isolated from wild ruminants, which grazed in the same pasture as infected cattle, and also from captured deer. Clinical paratuberculosis syndrome was diagnosed mostly in farmed deer. To prevent the spread of the disease it is the most important to maintain preventive measures and obtain early diagnosis of this infection.
