The purpose of this study was to document the effect of calfhood vaccination for Mycobacterium paratuberculosis on a serologic ELISA. Fifteen calves vaccinated with a killed paratuberculosis vaccine and 5 unvaccinated control calves were tested from the first through the fifteenth month of life. Age of vaccination ranged from 5 to 40 days. Blood samples were collected prior to vaccination and periodically thereafter. Serum antibody was analyzed by use of the ELISA. All calves were ELISA-negative prior to vaccination. Thirteen of 15 vaccinated calves became ELISA-positive between 2 and 6 months after vaccination. The unvaccinated cohort remained ELISA-negative. Wide-spread use of vaccine may interfere with diagnosis of paratuberculosis and with control programs that are based on serologic tests that measure humoral antibody.
