TI  - A serological survey on classical swine fever (CSF), Aujeszky's disease (AD) and 
      porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus infections in French 
      wild boars from 1991 to 1998.
PG  - 43-57
AB  - In early 1992, a CSF epizootic was clinically recognised in a wild boar 
      population of approximately 1300 animals within an area of 250km(2) located in 
      the east of France. In order to check the CSF situation in wild boars outside 
      this area, a serological survey was carried out in the rest of France, for 8 
      consecutive years (1991-1998). This paper reports on the results obtained during 
      this survey which included wild boars shot during the hunting period but also 
      boars reared within fences. Around 1000-2700 sera a year were tested for the 
      presence of antibodies to classical swine fever virus (CSFV) and also to 
      Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV). Out of 12025 sera tested over the whole period, 
      80 wild boars were found positive for CSF antibodies. Sixty of them were 
      collected on wild boars shot during the years 1992-1994 in the epizootic area 
      located in east of France and 10 were collected in Corsica during the years 
      1994-1996. The last four positive samples were single reactors coming from areas 
      or farms, which were thereafter confirmed to be serologically negative. These 
      results together with the fact that no disease has been reported so far 
      illustrate that the French wild boar population is probably not concerned by CSF 
      infection (excepted in the east of France where the disease has now become 
      enzootic). Two hundred and forty nine sera were initially detected as CSF 
      positive but confirmed secondarily as positive for border disease (BD) 
      antibodies. This finding shows that wild boars are also susceptible to infection 
      by ruminant pestiviruses. Four hundred and twenty three wild boars have been 
      found positive for ADV antibodies. In addition, from 1993 to 1995, 909 samples 
      were tested for the presence of antibodies to porcine reproductive and 
      respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Thirty three of them were positive. The 
      results on AD and PRRS antibody detection show that wild boars may constitute a 
      reservoir for various infectious diseases of pigs.
