About
Dr. Joseba M. Garrido is a leading researcher in veterinary microbiology and infectious disease diagnostics, with a primary focus on paratuberculosis (PTB) in ruminants. His work centers on developing rapid, reliable molecular detection methods for *Mycobacterium avium* subsp. *paratuberculosis* (MAP), the causative agent of this economically devastating enteropathy. His most cited study, "Development and Evaluation of a Novel Multicopy-Element-Targeting Triplex PCR for Detection of *Mycobacterium avium* subsp. *paratuberculosis* in Feces" (2014, 52 citations), represents a major contribution to the field. This work introduced a highly sensitive triplex PCR assay targeting multicopy elements, significantly improving the detection of MAP directly from fecal samples—a critical advancement for early diagnosis and herd management. By enhancing diagnostic accuracy, Garrido’s research directly addresses the challenge of reducing PTB’s impact on global ruminant farming profitability. His innovative molecular approaches have established him as a key figure in veterinary diagnostics, providing tools that enable more effective disease surveillance and control strategies.
