22.1 Introduction

Paratuberculosis vaccination has a long history that starts about a decade after the isolation of the causal agent (Twort and Ingram, 1911; Vallee and Rinjard, 1926). Interference with test­ing for tuberculosis, however, has restricted its use in cattle and collaterally in other susceptible species, in spite of a clear positive protection bal­ance in both experimental and field trial reports (Bastida and Juste, 2011).

Even so, vaccination is still widely used throughout the world and is the only single paratuberculosis control strategy that has been in continuous use for nearly 100 years. In this chapter, we review paratuberculo­sis vaccination in different perspectives that will cover the challenges and advances in the search for an efficient tool to control paratuberculosis in the livestock industry.
