We are a non-profit organization devoted to the advancement of knowledge and scientific achievement toward the control of paratuberculosis in domestic livestock and other species affected by Mycobacterium paratuberculosis.

The IAP is a community of paratuberculosis scientists, vets and researchers that are passionate about controlling paratuberculosis by sharing knowledge through our forums, newsletters and meetings.

We arrange a global 4 day International Colloquium of Paratuberculosis (ICP) every 2 years where we gather experts from around the world to share their research and work on paratuberculosis.
