Özet
Paratuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), remains a persistent One Health concern due to its slow clinical course, environmental resilience, wide circulation in ruminant systems, and unresolved zoonotic implications. To characterise MAP exposure across Türkiye's goat populations, we conducted a nationwide genomic survey encompassing seven breeds from 36 farms in 11 provinces. High-density SNP genotyping combined with mutual-information--based feature preselection retained informative, non-redundant loci capturing both linear and nonlinear components of disease architecture.Nine complementary machine-learning models were applied to identify host genetic factors underlying MAP infection, and an ensemble importance framework resolved 31 FDR-controlled SNPs consistently associated with MAP status. Functional annotation implicated immune processes ...
