TI  - Exposure of extensively farmed wild boars (Sus scrofa scrofa) to selected pig 
      pathogens in Greece.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Increased density and distribution of wild boar populations are 
      likely to promote interactions and transmission of certain pathogens, not only 
      among wild boar but also from wild boar to livestock or humans and vice versa. 
      OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine seroprevalence against 
      seven selected pathogens in wild boar living in four different areas in Greece. 
      ANIMALS AND METHODS: In total, 359 serum samples were collected from extensively 
      farmed wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa) originating from four distinct geographical 
      areas throughout Greece from April 2012 to August 2013. Samples were tested for 
      antibodies to Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, African swine fever virus (ASFV), 
      Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV), classical swine fever virus (CSFV), 
      Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and porcine reproductive 
      and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). Prevalence was compared among the four 
      regions using Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: Low overall seropositivities of 2.4% 
      and 5.6% were detected for E. rhusiopathiae and PRRSV, respectively, higher ones 
      for ADV (32.0%) and the highest (72.5% and 90.5%) for M. hyopneumoniae and A. 
      pleuropneumoniae, respectively. All sera tested were found negative for 
      antibodies directed against CSFV and ASFV. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first report 
      of exposure of wild boars to selected pig pathogens in Greece. These results are 
      indicative of the circulation of these pathogens in Greece with the exception of 
      CSFV and ASFV and suggestive of the potential role of wild boars on their 
      maintenance and transmission to their domestic counterparts and vice versa.
