Classification scheme of MAP status from ELISA and fPCR results in a study looking at changes in apparent prevalence of MAP infection in a NZ pastoral dairy herd over 4 years of intervention

Test				MAP status
ELISA
Paralisa™			IDEXX^a
Johnin^a	PPA^a	Ag₁Del₁^a
< 50 EU	< 50 EU	< 50 EU	Not Detected	Not Detected
50–100 EU in any test			Low	Low
101–150 EU in any test			Moderate	Moderate
> 150 EU in any test			High	High
fPCR
< 1 × 10³ genomes / mL				Not Detected
≥ 1 × 10³ - < 1 × 10⁴ genomes / mL				Moderate
≥ 1 × 10⁴ genomes / mL				High

^aELISA results were interpreted in parallel

^bfPCR results were interpreted in series with ELISA results
