“…Mycobacterium bovis infection has been reported in wild boar in Spain (Naranjo, Gortazar, Vicente, & de la Fuente, ), France (Richomme, Boschiroli, Hars, Casablanca, & Ducrot, ), Italy (Serraino et al., ), United Kingdom (Foyle & Delahay, ), Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia (Machackova et al., ; Pavlik et al., ) and Morocco (El Mrini et al., ), and in feral swine in Australia (Corner, Barrett, Lepper, Lewis, & Pearson, ) and New Zealand (Wakelin & Churchman, ). They are believed to acquire infection either via scavenging the carcass of an animal that died from bTB or from inhalation or ingestion of the bacterium as they share pasture space with M. bovis‐ infected cattle (de Lisle, Mackintosh, & Bengis, ; Serraino et al., ).…”

The natural fecundity of suids, great ability to adapt to new habitats and desire for local hunting opportunities leading to translocation of feral pigs to regions where they are not yet established have all been instrumental in the home range expansion of feral swine. Feral swine populations in the United States continue to expand, wreaking havoc on agricultural lands, further compromising threatened and endangered species, and posing a microbiological threat to humans, domestic livestock and companion animals. This manuscript thoroughly reviews zoonotic diseases of concern including brucellosis, bovine tuberculosis, leptospirosis, enteric pathogens, both Salmonella spp. and shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, and hepatitis E. These pathogens are not a comprehensive list of microbes that are capable of infecting both humans and feral swine, but rather have been selected as they are known to infect US feral swine, direct transmission between wild suids and humans has previously been documented, or they have been shown to be readily transmitted during processing or consumption of feral swine pork. Humans that interact directly or indirectly with feral swine are at much higher risk for the development of a number of zoonotic pathogens. Numerous case reports document transmission events from feral swine and wild boar to humans, and the resulting diseases may be mild and self-limiting, chronic or fatal. Individuals that interact with feral swine should take preventative measures to minimize the risk of disease transmission and all meat should be thoroughly cooked. Additionally, public health campaigns to increase knowledge of the risks associated with feral swine are imperative.

“…There is scientific evidence that wild boar plays a crucial role in the maintenance of MTC in the Iberian Mediterranean ecosystems [145,147,148]. Nevertheless, TB was reported in this species in many European countries [145], Asia [149], North Africa [150] and South America [151]. BCG and HIMB vaccines, by parenteral or oral route, have shown in this species a significant protection in different laboratory challenge trials (see Table 4).…”

Development and Challenges in Animal Tuberculosis Vaccination

Vaccination with Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) constituted a major advance in the prevention of human tuberculosis (TB) in the beginning of the past century. BCG has also a clear potential for use in animals and, in particular, in the main domestic species subjected to TB control programs, cattle. Nowadays, the use of BCG vaccination against TB in cattle is not permitted by European Union legislation because BCG can induce a cellular immune response producing diagnostic interference in the eradication programs based on tuberculin single and comparative intradermal tests imposed worldwide. In this review, we recall the history of TB vaccination as well as different vaccine trials and the response to vaccination in both domestic and wild animals. Promising potential inactivated vaccines are also reviewed. Research studies are mainly focused to improve vaccine efficacy, and at the same time to ensure its easy administration, safety and stability in the environment. Great challenges remain, particularly in terms of vaccine candidates and also in the acceptance of vaccination. Vaccination should be included in a strategic plan for integrated control of TB under a “one health” perspective, which also includes other measures such as improved biosafety on farms to avoid or decrease contact between domestic and wild animals or control of wildlife reservoirs to avoid overabundance that may favor infection maintenance.

“…Initially, it was suggested that the disease was maintained on the island through spillover from cattle; however, M. bovis was detected in feral swine after the removal of cattle indicating that the bacteria could persist without cattle. Mycobacterium bovis infection also has been reported in native Eurasian wild boar in Spain (Naranjo et al 2008), Portugal (Duarte et al 2007), Italy (Pavlik et al 2002), France (Richomme et al 2013), Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Russia (Machackova et al 2003), the United Kingdom (Foyle et al 2010), Germany (Schulz et al 1992, and Morocco (El Mrini et al 2016), and in feral swine in Australia (Corner et al 1981) and New Zealand (Wakelin and Churchman 1991). Mycobacterium bovis is considered endemic in wild boar and feral swine in the US (Hawaiian island of Molokai), France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain with prevalence rates ranging from 1.4% to 92%.…”
