Abstract
As part of a large-scale cross-sectional study, the incidence of paratuberculosis was estimated to be 1.7% in 1993 and 2.3% in 1994, from the data collected by postal questionnaire of 3772 dairy farmers in the United Kingdom. Most of the cases were reported in female (93.0%), homebred animals (72.5%) aged between 3-6 years (54.2%). Although Channel Island breeds (Jersey and Guernsey) were the predominant breeds in only 3.2% of farms, 40.1% of all cases were reported in these breeds. Only 16.2% of the cases were vaccinated against the disease. 67.0% of the cases were diagnosed either by a veterinarian or a Veterinary Investigation Centre (VIC). 47.9% of the cases were reported in the south of the country.
