Serological survey of the wild boar (Sus scrofa) for tularaermia and brucelosis in South Moravia, Czech Republic

Original language description

: Sera of 204 wild boars (Sus scrofa), shot by hunters in the South-Moravian district of Břeclav during1993-2001, were tested by microagglutination reaction using safranin-stained antigens of Francisella tularensis and Brucella abortus: 10.8% and 8.7% seroreactors, respectively, were detected. The highest (17%) prevalence of tularaemia antibodies was found in wild boars during 1993-1994 at the beginning of a widespread outbreak of tularaemia in South Moravia that started in 1994, a nonsignificantly lower (13%) seroprevalence in 1995-1996 during the continuing epizootic, whereas it decreased markedly to 3% in the years 1997-2001 during the disappearance of the epizootic. Brucella sp. antibodies were significantly most frequent (15%) in wild boars in theyears 1995-1996. This Brucella seroreactivity has been attributed to B. suis biotype 2 (B. melitensis biovar Suis biotype 2 according to new nomenclature) infection, because B. abortus in both cattle and humans (Bang's disease) was eradic
