Abstract     Before the year 1997 in serological diagnosis of paratuberculosis CF test was used. In the year 1997 we started to use in diagnosis of paratuberculosis more specific ELISA test.11513 cattle blood samples from 1690 herds and in the year 1998 12082 cattle blood samples from 2423 herds collected from different parts of Slovenia have been tested with ELISA. In the year 1997 47 (0.41 % ) samples were positive and 19 (0.17% ) samples were inconclusive and in the year 1998140 (1.16% ) % ) samples were positive and 118 (0.98%) samples were inconclusive. Positive or inconclusive animals were found in 48 (2.84% ) herds in the year 1997 and in 157 (6.48% ) herds in the year 1998. Infected farms were analysed geographically. From the results is evident that the paratuberculosis is common disease in Slovenia. In the year 1998 the number of infected animals was significantly increased.
Summary     Do leta 1997 smo za serološko ugotavljanje paratuberkuloze uporabljali metodo RVK, ki je bila manj specifična, vendar smo z njo ugotovili precejšnje število okuženih gospodarstev. V letu 1997 smo v diagnostiko paratuberkuloze vpeljali metodo ELISA. Z njo smo preiskali 11513 vzorcev krvi goved iz 1690 gospodarstev, v letu 1998 pa 12082 krvnih vzorcev iz 2423 gospodarstev z različnih področij Slovenije. V letu 1997 je 47 (0,41%) goved reagiralo pozitivno in 19 (0,17%) sumljivo na protitelesa proti M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis, v letu 1998 paje pozitivno reagiralo 140 (1,16%) goved in sumljivo 118 (0,98%). Živali, ki so reagirale pozitivno ali sumljivo, smo v letu 1997 ugotovili v 48 (2,84% ) čredah in v letu 1998 v 157 (6,48% ) čredah. Okužene črede smo analizirali glede na geografska območja Slovenije. Iz rezultatov je razvidno, da je paratuberkuloza v Sloveniji močno razširjena ter da se je število okuženih živali v letu 1998 občutno povečalo.
