Prevalence of infection in hunted wild boars () in Germany

Résumé

is the etiological agent of Glässer's disease, often involved in pneumonia, and also an early colonizer of the upper respiratory tract of healthy domestic pigs. Little information is available on in wild boars. The aim of the present study was to evaluate infection in wild boars in Germany. Tissue samples from the lungs and tonsils of 531 wild boars from 52 hunts during the hunting seasons 2004/2005 to 2006/2007 were examined independently for by PCR because is a fastidious organism, which hampers its isolation from clinical samples. The overall prevalence of in wild boars in Germany was 74.2%. was detected in 69.1% of tonsils and 40.4% of lungs. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates a wide distribution of in German wild boar populations and further research is required to understand the virulence of strains in wild boars, as well as the distribution and potential exchange of different strains between wild boars and domestic pigs.
