“…The role of wild boars in PCV2 transmission to domestic pigs is not clear (Meng et al, 2009). The prevalence of SIV H1N1 antibodies (9.7% overall) in our study is lower than previously reported (Zupancic et al, 2000), but comparable to that in other European countries (Kaden et al, 2009;Closa-Sebastia et al, 2011). There was no evidence of exposure to SIV in wild boars in neighboring Slovenia (Vengust et al, 2006).…”

ABSTRACT:We determined prevalence of antibody to selected viral pathogens important for domestic pigs and livestock in 556 wild boar (Sus scrofa) sera collected during 2005-06 and 2009-10 in four counties in Croatia. These counties account for an important part of the Croatian commercial pig production and have a high density of wild boars. Samples were tested for antibodies to porcine parvovirus (PPV), Aujeszky's disease virus (ADV), porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), swine influenza virus, porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine respiratory coronavirus (PRCV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus, and swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV). Antibodies to all of the infectious pathogens except SVDV were detected. There was a statistically significant difference in prevalence between the two periods for PPV, ADV, PCV2, PRRSV, and PRCV, with a higher prevalence of PPV and ADV in the 2009-10 period (P,0.05). During the same period, the prevalence of PCV2, PRRSV, and PRCV was lower (P,0.05). Our results provide information on the current disease exposure and health status of wild boars in Croatia and suggest that wild boars may act as a reservoir for several pathogens and a source of infection for domestic pigs and other livestock as well as humans, especially for ADV.

“…Influenza infections in wild boars were reported in the United States (Gipson et al, 1999;Corn et al, 2009), France (Vittecoq et al, 2012), Germany (Polley et al, 2007;Kaden et al, 2008), Poland (Markowska-Daniel and Pejsak, 1999Markowska-Daniel and Kowalczyk, 2005), and Spain (Vicente et al, 2002;Closa-Sebastia et al, 2011). Our survey is consistent with previous investigations showing that coinfection of H1 and H3 influenza viruses is common in feral swine.…”

“…Only a few investigators have examined exposure of feral swine to influenza viruses (Kaden et al, 2008;Closa-Sebastia et al, 2011;Vittecoq et al, 2012). Direct detection of viral antigen in feral swine is difficult because of the short course of the infection.…”

ABSTRACT:Swine play an important role in the disease ecology of influenza. Swine may provide the potential for mixed infections and genetic reassortment between avian, human, and porcine influenza viruses. We investigated the prevalence of antibodies to swine H1 and H3 influenza viruses and avian H5 and H9 influenza viruses in feral swine in southern China. Serum samples were collected from 31 feral swine harvested in 2009 in southern China. Of 31 serum samples tested, 14 (45%) had detectable antibody to H1 influenza virus and 23 (74%) were positive for H3 subtype. The antibody prevalence against both the swine H1 virus and the swine H3 virus was 45% (14/31). Five samples were reactive with both H1 and N1 subtype viruses, suggesting exposure to H1N1 viruses. All the sera tested were negative for avian H5 and H9 influenza viruses. Further investigations of influenza virus exposure of feral swine are needed to clarify their role in influenza ecology.

“…These prevalence results also showed that in Lithuania there are more wild boars positive for PRRSV antibodies than in Spain (2.0%-3.0%) (4,6) and Germany (3.82%), as it was demonstrated during recent PRRSV serological investigations in these countries (13). This high serological prevalence in the wild boars in Lithuania can be related to the changes in the wild boar population.…”

Serological study of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection in pigs and wild boars was conducted in Lithuania between 2009 and 2013. Antibody level was measured using a commercial ELISA. The 4.32% (95% CI 3.92-4.72) out of 9856 examined porcine sera were positive for the PRRSV antibodies. The antibodies were detected in 11.82% (95% CI 10.28-13.36) of all investigated serum samples of sows and gilts. As much as 8.2% of serologically positive samples (95% CI 6.83-9.57) were determined in the piglets under three months of age. Considerably smaller (P < 0.05) seroprevalence was detected in boars (0.62%) and fattening pigs (1.84%). From 1357 examined sera of wild boar, collected between 2009 and 2013 hunting seasons, 5.38% (95% CI 4.52-8.2) of samples were positive for PRRSV antibodies in 23 locations out of 50 investigated. The analysis of seroprevalence in different age groups of wild boars showed that PRRSV antibodies were detected in all age groups; however, it was significantly higher in adults than in juveniles or subadults and reached up to 10.02% (95% CI 7.39-12.65).
