Abstract

In this work, the most significant advances achieved within the framework of the doctoral thesis titled "Immunological and genetic markers associated with infections caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in cattle" are described. The thesis was conducted by Maria Canive in the Department of Animal Health at NEIKER under the supervision of Dr. Marta Alonso-Hearn. It was defended on March 25, 2022, at the Faculty of Medicine and Nursing of the University of the Basque Country, as part of the Ph.D. program in Immunology, Microbiology, and Parasitology. The doctoral thesis received the qualification of Outstanding cum laude and was recently honored with a mention of the Syva Award for the best doctoral thesis defended in Spain, Mexico, and Portugal in 2022. The thesis employed a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing microbiological, immunological, genetic, "omics," and bioinformatics methodologies. The innovative and original nature of the techniques used in this approach was highly appreciated by the Tribunal of the pharmaceutical company SYVA.
