text: African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and fatal disease of domestic pigs, feral pigs and wild boar. In the last years (2007-2013) 683 outbreaks of ASF were reported in the Russian Federation (RF) (292 in wild boars and 391 in domestic pigs) causing significant economic losses in the swine industry. The recent introduction of ASF in wild boars in EU increases the risk for other ...

Zoonotic transmission of hepatitis E virus (HEV) from captured wild deer or boars to humans has been suggested. Antibody to HEV was detected in 9% of 35 wild boars and 2% of 117 wild deer tested, and a presumably indigenous HEV of genotype 3 was isolated from a boar in Japan.

Superficial inguinal lymph nodes from 72 wild boars examined in a previous immunohistochemical (IHC) study on porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) were selected for a PCV2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. Four of these lymph nodes were PCV2-IHC strongly positive with PMWS histological lesions (outcome 1), 6 weak to mild PCV2-IHC positive without PMWS histological lesions (outcome 2) and 62...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen with pigs and wild boar serving as reservoirs for human infection through direct contact with infected animals or the consumption of raw or undercooked pork products. The liver is considered the main target site of HEV replication in swine and an important organ in the pathogenesis of the disease. The aim of this study was to characterize...

Aujeszky's disease (AD, pseudorabies) is a notifiable disease caused by Suid herpesvirus 1 (SuHV-1), also named pseudorabies virus (PrV). The study aimed at determining the occurrence and spatio-temporal trend of specific antibodies to AD virus (ADV) among wild boar of Saxony-Anhalt, a landlocked federal state situated in the western part of eastern Germany. To this end, a total of 7,209 blood ...

BACKGROUND Brucellosis is frequently reported among wild boar populations in Europe. The aim of the study was to assess the epidemiological situation in Belgium, regarding the steady increase of wild boar populations over the last decades. Several serological tests were used and compared with culture and IS711 polymerase chain reaction (PCR), to determine the most suitable combination of diagno...

BACKGROUND Aujeszky's disease is a viral disease of suids caused by Suid Herpesvirus 1. The disease has worldwide distribution with significant economic impact. In Serbia, there is neither an Aujeszky's disease eradication nor national vaccination programme of domestic pigs. Since clinical symptoms of Aujeszky's disease are not specific, it is important to establish a link between clinical sign...

Fatty acid composition of lipid components as a part of recipes of meat products has been investigated. Factors influencing the results of analytical determination of individual fatty acids are shown. The main ratios of fatty acid composition describing fats of sheep, sow, boar, cow, turkey, horse, chicken, pheasant, and wild boar are presented, allowing their use in manufacture of modern meat ...

Wild boar Sus scrofa populations have increased dramatically in recent decades throughout Europe. While hunting is widely used management activities; it rarely has an important role regulating and reducing wild populations. Therefore, increasing the efficiency of a compelling issue. In this study, we three-year dataset (2016–2018) on population living Campania (southern Italy) as case study to ...
