      hunting regions of Southern Germany].
PG  - 27-32
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Wild boars represent a possible virus reservoir for notifiable 
      diseases of farm animals, including Aujeszky's disease (AD) and classical swine 
      fever (CSF). Monitoring of the epidemiological situation in the wild boar 
      population is especially relevant in countries that are officially free from 
      these diseases. Apart from OIE-notifiable diseases, other viral agents that are 
      widely distributed and play a significant role in farm animals, such as the 
      porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine circovirus 
      type2 (PCV-2), and swine influenza virus (SIV), are sporadically detected in wild 
      boars. Thus, the wild boar population is a potential source for maintenance of 
      these infections in farm animals. The aim of this study was therefore to test for 
      antibodies to the indicated emerging viral infections in wild boars in several 
      hunting regions of Southern Germany. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Blood serum of 94 shot 
      wild boars from 19 hunting regions in Bavaria, Rhineland-Palatinate and 
      Baden-Wurttemberg were collected. Antibodies to AD virus (ADV), CSF virus (CSFV), 
      PRRSV, SIV (H1N1) (all by IDEXX ELISA) and PCV-2 (IgM and IgG by Ingenasa ELISA) 
      in blood serum were determined. RESULTS: Antibodies to ADV were detected in four 
      animals (4.2%), to PRRSV in one animal (1.2%), to SIV (H1N1) in two animals 
      (2.1%) and to PCV-2 (IgG) in 15 animals (16.0%) of which three animals also had 
      antibodies to PCV-2 (IgM) (3.2%). CSFV antibodies were not detected in the 
      examined wild boars. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Compared to other 
      studies in several European and American states, the seroprevalence to the tested 
      emerging diseases was low in this study. Nevertheless, the wild boar population 
      may still be a virus reservoir and therefore a source of infection for domestic 
      pigs. This is especially important in the case of notifiable diseases, like AD 
      and CSF. Therefore, a continuous monitoring of those diseases in the wild boar 
      population would be advisable.
