The present study reports the seroprevalence of paratuberculosis in bovines of the rural area from five different agro-climatic zone of Punjab. A total of 736 serum samples from both cattle and buffalo herds were evaluated for the presence of antibodies to MAP using a commercially available paratuberculosis screening enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Twenty three animals were positive and the seroprevalence was found as 3.125%. Highest prevalence was recorded in western plain zone (6.66%) followed by western zone (3.07%), central zone (2.68%), sub mountain undulating zone (2%) and nil in undulating plain zone
