Since the beginning of the 20th century there has been talk about it and while people have been speaking about it, lives were destroyed. Millions of lives and nothing has been done but symptomatic medication. But now it has happened, a brave man has decided to declare war on this beast - Mycobacterium Avium Paratuberculosis - and thus awaken hope in millions of hopelessly ill people. Thank you Professor John Hermon-Taylor for your bravery and for not abandoning us.
