Prevalence of Selected Emerging and Re-emerging Pathogens in Population of Wild Boar in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Wild life, especially wild boars, are hosts to a number of pathogenic viruses, bacteria and parasites. More often these pathogens are silent or asymptomatic in their natural hosts. In some instances they can infect other species, and this cross-species transmission might lead to human infection. Several of these viruses, bacteria or parasites are emerging or re-emerging in nature. Present study describes prevalence of such pathogens in wild boar population in the Czech Republic. A total of 361 wild boars were tested for presence of hepatitis E virus, suid herpes virus 1 (Aujeszky&apos;s disease virus), Toxoplasma gondii and Trichinella spiralis. Analysed samples were collected in period of two years (2016 and 2017) and originated from 22 location of the Czech Republic. Detection of selected pathogens was performed by molecular methods (qPCR or RT-qPCR). Hepatitis E virus and Aujeszky&apos;s disease virus were found in at least one sample of 54 (15 %) and 13 (4%) animals, respectively. Presence of Toxoplasma gondii was detected in samples of 23 (6 %) tested wild boars, while all analysed samples were negative for presence of Trichinella spiralis. The prevalence of selected pathogens seems to be low in wild boars, however obtained result should not be underestimated. According to found prevalence of hepatitis E virus (15 %) and an annual wild boar catch in 2016 (over 160,000 animals), 24,000 wild boars could be infected by this virus and thus could serve as source of human infection.
