Summary. The
article presents the results of cultural study of faeces
samples from zoo animals and water samples. Five cultures were isolated from
zoo animals (Lama glama, Camelus bactrianus, Ammotragus lervia, Elaphurus davidianus, Bos frontalis frontalis)
and one culture from water sample. Culture-morphological, tinctorial,
biochemical and biological properties of epizootic cultures of mycobacteria isolated from zoo animals were
studied. It was the reason to attribute isolates to M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis.
The results of conducted research indicate circulation of M. paratuberculosis among zoo animals.
Keywords: paratuberculosis, zoo ungulates, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis,
