[121] [122] A number of studies have suggested a causal role for Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), which causes a similar disease, Johne's disease, in cattle. [123] [124] In many individuals, genetic factors predispose individuals to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection.
