Seroprevalence of Antibodies to Main Porcine Infectious Pathogens in Wild Boar in Some Regions of Russia

Abstract

Results of testing 107 serum samples from wild boars (Sus scrofa L., 1758) for the presence of antibodies to six economically significant porcine infectious disease agents (porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus, porcine parvovirus (PPV), swine influenza virus (SIV) of H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes, Aujeszky’s disease virus (ADV), porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae) are presented in the paper. Wild boar were sampled in seven regions of Russia for diagnostic purposes. The obtained results showed the presence of antibodies to ADV in 32.5% of samples (83/27), to PPV – in 62% of samples (92/57), to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae – in 52% of samples (98/51). All samples were seronegative to PRRS virus (107/0), TGEV (91/0) and SIV of H1N1 (89/0) and H3N2 (58/0) subtypes. The researches demonstrated the extensive circulation of porcine parvovirus, Aujeszky’s disease virus and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae among Wild boar in some regions of Russia.
