Wild boar as the reservoir of pathogens, pathogenic for swine, other species of animals and for humans

Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the current knowledge on wild boar as a reservoir of viruses, bacteria and parasites being pathogenic also to other species of animals, and for humans, but particularly to pigs belonging to the same species, Sus scrofa, as the wild boar. Since wild boar and domestic pigs belong to the same taxonomic species they are susceptible to the same pathogens and can infect each other. Therefore free – ranging wild boar are increasingly considered to be a threat to the pig industry and… Show more

“…Interestingly, the frequency of the detection of viral DNA in wild boars originating from different European countries can be even higher (ranging from 23% and 50%) than the one reported in domestic pigs (from 6% to 32%) [2,[7][8][12][13][14][15][16][17]. This high prevalence in wild boars was predictable, since wild boars and domestic pigs pertain to the same species, and most of the infectious agents infecting the domestic pigs are also circulating in the wild boars [18,19].…”
