| [the situation of classical swine fever in wild boars in the european community and selected aspects of disease transmission]. | the situation of classical swine fever (csf) in europe is described on the basis of the literature. in the european community, csf is present among wild boars in germany (federal states mecklenburg-western pomerania, brandenburg and lower saxony), in france (northern vosges) and in italy (regio emìlìa romagna in 1997 and sardinia--enzootically infected). infected wild boars are important as a source of infection for domestic pigs in germany. selected aspects of the transmission of csf virus from ... | 1998 | 9674308 |
| oral immunisation of wild boar against classical swine fever: concluding analysis of the recent field trials in germany. | the recent oral immunisation trials in wild boar against classical swine fever (csf) in germany are described and evaluated in summary. after the first field study in lower saxony from 1993-1995 further immunisation trials started in mecklenburg-western pomerania, brandenburg, lower saxony, baden-württemberg and saxony-anhalt. the immunisation strategies and the size of the vaccination zones were different in the individual federal states. in principle, the bait vaccine based on the csf virus st ... | 2002 | 12058591 |
| an outbreak of salmonella münchen in germany associated with raw pork meat. | in summer 2001, an outbreak of salmonella münchen occurred in germany. we conducted descriptive epidemiology and hypothesis-generating interviews among case patients, two retrospective cohort studies, and a case-control study of suboutbreaks. we performed pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) from selected patient isolates and a limited trace-back investigation for analytical purposes. four states were consecutively affected: saxonia (sx), brandenburg (bb), berlin (be), and baden-württemberg ( ... | 2005 | 15726968 |
| detection of hepatitis e virus in wild boars of rural and urban regions in germany and whole genome characterization of an endemic strain. | hepatitis e is an increasingly diagnosed human disease in central europe. besides domestic pigs, in which hepatitis e virus (hev) infection is highly prevalent, wild boars have been identified as a possible source of human infection. in order to assess the distribution of hev in the wild boar population of germany, we tested liver samples originating from different geographical regions for the presence of the hev genome and compared the detected sequences to animal and human hev strains. | 2009 | 19442307 |
| [case report: porcine circovirus type 2 infection in an european wild boar (sus scrofa) in the state of brandenburg, germany]. | this case represents the first case of porcine circovirus type 2 (pcv-2)--infection in a free living european wild boar associated with morphological lesions, which are regarded as characteristic for postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (pmws) in domestic pigs. the animal, an approximately 10 month old male, was found dead in a rural area within the state of brandenburg, germany. the closest commercial pig farm is located in 3 km distance from the spot where the carcass was found. at necro ... | 2003 | 14650740 |
| [oral immunization against classical swine fever (csf) in the federal state of brandenburg from 1995 to 1997]. | the first findings of classical swine fever in wild boar occurred in the rural district ostprignitz-ruppin of brandenburg in march 1995. up to this time the area was considered to be free of swine fever in domestic and wild boars. the swine fever cases were marked particularly by the occurence of dead games and clinically decreased individuals as well as by the involvement of young wild boars. (< 10 kg carcass weight). in brandenburg, the eradication programme of classical swine fever was based ... | 2000 | 11155519 |
| [prevalence of antibodies against the viruses of european swine fever, aujeszky's disease and "porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome" in wild boars in the federal states sachsen-anhalt and brandenburg]. | during the hunting season from 1991/1992 blood samples were collected from wild boar shot in the federal states of sachsen-anhalt (482 samples) and brandenburg (177 samples) which corresponds to 2.1 and 0.4% of the total hunting bag. all sera were screened in a complex trapping blocking (ctb) elisa for antibodies against hog cholera virus (hcv) and in an indirect elisa for antibodies against aujeszky's disease virus (adv). additionally the sera were tested for neutralizing antibodies against hcv ... | 1994 | 8131731 |
| detection of influenza a viruses and influenza epidemics in wild pelagic birds by sentinels and population studies. | field experiments with domestic ducks as sentinels and virological and serological population observations on wild pelagic birds on a seabird-breeding island in the baltic sea and on rivers and lakes near berlin were conducted to detect the influenza a virus circulation and epidemics in wild pelagic bird populations. influenza a virus isolates were detected in tracheal and cloacal swabs from sentinel ducks and from healthy pelagic birds. influenza a virus epidemics with different subtypes in an ... | 1982 | 7170852 |
| influenza virus a/swine-outbreaks in domestic pigs and antibody findings in human sera. | in the last years, the occurrence of influenza viruses a/h1n1 (hsw1n1) in pig stocks of different countries has been increasingly reported. in general, the isolated viruses were related to the influenza virus a/new jersey/8/76 h1n1 (hsw1n1). human infections were not reported in these outbreaks. since march 1981, very limited influenza outbreaks in several pig stocks of the gdr with high morbidity and very low lethality have been observed. the illness took an uncomplicated path and generally sub ... | 1983 | 6316691 |

| study on the occurrence of trichinella spp. in raccoon dogs in brandenburg, germany. | in recent years the raccoon dog population in germany has risen dramatically and a steady westward expansion can still be seen. in addition to the highest trichinella prevalence in wild boar and the most reported trichinella cases in domestic swine from backyard farms, the north-eastern part of germany also has the highest raccoon dog density in the country. due to their distinct scavenging behavior, raccoon dogs play a significant role as trichinella reservoir. therefore, to increase the knowle ... | 2016 | 27133501 |
| alaria alata in wild boars (sus scrofa, linnaeus, 1758) in the eastern parts of germany. | over the last decade, incidental findings of alaria alata in stocks of german wild boar during the official trichinella inspection have been increased. as early as 2006, the german federal institute for risk assessment pointed out the possible health risk to the consumer posed by this trematode. however, at that time, reliable data concerning the prevalence of the parasite in german wild boars and feral pigs were lacking especially because no appropriate detection method was available. the devel ... | 2012 | 22562214 |
| seroprevalence study in forestry workers from eastern germany using novel genotype 3- and rat hepatitis e virus-specific immunoglobulin g elisas. | hepatitis e virus (hev) is the causative agent of an acute self-limiting hepatitis in humans. in industrialized countries, autochthonous cases are linked to zoonotic transmission from domestic pigs, wild boar and red deer. the main route of human infection presumably is consumption of contaminated meat. farmers, slaughterers and veterinarians are expected to be risk groups as they work close to potentially infected animals. in this study, we tested four escherichia coli-expressed segments of the ... | 2011 | 22179131 |
