“…Sarcoptic mange occurs worldwide in domestic swine and causes high economic losses (Bräunig, 2004;Damriyasa et al, 2004). In wild boar, cases have been reported in internationally available articles (Mignone et al 1995;Bornstein et al, 2001;Pence and Ueckermann, 2002;Rasero et al, 2010 clinical observations in captive animals described in the German literature (Wetzel and Rieck, 1972;Ippen et al, 1995), sarcoptic mange has been poorly documented in wild boar.…”

In Switzerland sarcoptic mange is frequent in free-ranging wild carnivores but until recent years no cases had been recorded in wild ungulates. Since 2010, cases have been observed in wild boar in the cantons of Solothurn, Tessin and Thurgau. Here, we report the detection of mange-like skin lesions in wild boars by photo-trapping and the post-mortem findings in 6 culled animals presenting different stages of the disease. Potential sources of infection include mangy red foxes, outdoor domestic pigs and wild boars from surrounding countries. Disease spread in the wild boar population may become relevant not only for wildlife but also for domestic pig health in the future if piggeries' biosecurity is insufficient to prevent interactions with wild boar.

Two outbreaks of fowl cholera in the avifauna in Denmark, affecting primarily eiders but also cormorants, gulls and oyster-catchers were shown to be caused by the same clone of Pasteurella multocida ssp. multocida by restriction enzyme analysis (REA) and ribotyping, using the enzymes HpaII and HhaI and phenotypic characterization. This observation indicated spread by migratory birds. It was shown that the outbreak clone was closely related to isolates of Pasteurella multocida ssp. multocida obtained from back-yard poultry in Denmark, including chickens, pheasants, turkeys and ducks. The only detectable difference between the outbreak clone and some of these strains concerned the size of one fragment. These results indicate a possible exchange of P. multocida ssp. multocida between populations of wild birds and back-yard poultry.Among the DNA fingerprinting methods used, restriction enzyme analysis offered the highest discrimination among thirty strains obtained from back-yard poultry. The restriction enzymes HpaII and HhaI generated almost the same number of profile types, 17 and 15 respectively, but only HpaII differentiated the outbreak clone from the group of closely related strains isolated from back-yard poultry. Ribotyping, using the same enzymes, resulted in 12 and 10 different profile types, respectively. The outbreak isolates did not harbour any plasmids, while six out of the 30 strains originating from back-yard poultry (20%) carried a cryptic plasmid of approximately 3.4 kb.

“…An attempt to transmit the disease by injecting tissue fluid from genital lesions of dark-field microscopypositive hares into the scrotum of New Zealand White rabbits resulted in a superficial scrotal lesion of about 5 cm in diameter containing treponemes after 110 days in one rabbit. The same (German) name has been used (Hasensyphilis, Knotenseuche) to describe both brucellosis and spirochetal infections in hares (11,12,16).…”
