Abstract

Mycobacterium paratuberculosis was diagnosed in 2 llamas by bacteriologic culturing and DNA probe testing of fecal and intestinal specimens. Diarrhea and weight loss were observed in both animals. Lesions in the gastrointestinal tracts of the 2 llamas were similar to pathologic changes reported in cattle infected with M paratuberculosis.
