We have test results on a doe with a positive CL abscess, tested the abscess itself, yet she had then and still has (she lives in my brother in laws herd) a negative bloodtest for CL. Also if a blood test for Johnes was accurate the cattle industry would be using it and not sending in fecal! Yes our CAE testing with the Elisa testing, Washington State and Pan American Labs) are accurate barring human error. The only CL tests we have seen come back positive are from those who vaccinate.
