Goals of the Conference

  • Review available MAP diagnostic methods.
  • Review antibiotic therapies used to date in human trials and human case reports.

Sponsorship Update and Video Replay

In support of the researchers who are coming from around the world and bearing the costs of their own expenses, Human Paratuberculosis has now committed to sponsoring the 2017 MAP Conference. An outside sponsor has generously committed to funding one luncheon, and HPF will fund the additional $1,000 for the second luncheon. Through your generous support, HPF has currently raised $325 of this amount.
