dear "Splice Girl",
am interested in the wasting disease you mention. Are you by any chance
looking for Mycobacteria? Do you suspect a connection with Johnes disease
(Have I spelt that right?)  or is something more crypto implicated. If
crypto is suspect then Cold AFB staining on faecal smears might be useful,
otherwise check out the lymph nodes and see if cheesy.
Either way you might turn up some useful control material.
Regards MIke Rentsch
