چکیده

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is not only the causative agent of paratuberculosis but has also been implicated in the etiology of Crohn's Disease in humans. Therefore, the importance of studies on this subject increases as MAP causes many economic losses by causing disease in cattle and is important for public health. The aim of this paper is to map the global scientific landscape related to MAP research. The Web of Science (WOS) database was queried for publications bearing the title "Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis" from January 2001 to December 2021, employing the R bibliometrix program. A total of 1775 articles were reviewed in this bibliometric analysis. Notably, the majority of these articles originated from the USA (n = 536, 30.541%). The year 2013 emerged as the most productive year for publications. In terms of research fields, Veterinary Science (n=730, 41.6%) occupied the leading research area. These studies were conducted by a diverse array of researchers, including veterinarians, physicians, and other experts working in this domain to define MAP. The sustained increase in the number of publications on paratuberculosis underscores the ongoing global interest in this factor. Since the determination of effective control strategies for paratuberculosis is important for the food sector and public health, research collaboration between countries should be established.
