Occurrence and Characterisation of Selected Bacterial Pathogens in the Intestinal Tract of Wild Boars Hunted in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Presence of zoonotic pathogens in the intestines of food animals represents a potential source of meat contamination. Faeces of wild boars hunted in years 2014-2016 in 70 hunting areas in different parts of the Czech Republic were analysed for presence of selected pathogens by cultivation methods (ISO norms). Very low prevalence of Salmonella spp. (0.4%), E. coli O157 (0.8%) and L. monocytogenes (3.3%) was found (N=242), suggesting that the population of wild boar in the Czech Republic is not an important reservoir of these pathogens. However, the overall prevalence of thermotolerant campylobacters was 54.6% (N=606), with C. coli being the predominant species present in 46.9% of samples, followed by C. jejuni (13.4%). The results suggest that there's a significant probability of contamination of wild boar meat by campylobacters in the case that the gut content spills out on meat surface, emphasizing the importance of good shot placement and good practice during evisceration and further handling of the carcasses.
