State, federal, and industry efforts at paratuberculosis control.
Paratuberculosis control in the United States has a long history, but only since 2002 has the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) had a formal control program in place. Modeled after work by the United States Animal Health Association (USAHA), the program continues to be a voluntary effort by states and producers. Education on paratuberculosis continues to be heavily emphasized by states.
