| ticks (acari: ixodidae) infesting cattle and some other domestic and wild hosts on the french mediterranean island of corsica. | corsica is a mountainous french island in the north-western mediterranean presenting a large diversity of natural environments where many interactions between domestic animals and wild fauna occur. despite a favourable context for ticks and tick-borne diseases (tbds), the tick fauna of corsica has not systematically been investigated. | 2016 | 27842608 |
| bovine tuberculosis in livestock and wild boar on the mediterranean island, corsica. | the zoonotic agent of bovine tuberculosis (btb), mycobacterium bovis, can be transmitted between domestic and wild animals, threatening wildlife populations and control programs for btb in cattle. in corsica, a french mediterranean island where domestic and wild species have close interactions, btb cases have been reported in cattle, pigs, and wild boar. moreover, genotypes of m. bovis found in wild and domestic animals from the same area were identical. these data strongly suggest that wild and ... | 2010 | 20688663 |
| epidemiological survey of trichinellosis in wild boar (sus scrofa) and fox (vulpes vulpes) in a french insular region, corsica. | the mediterranean island of corsica was considered trichinella-free until 2004, when t. britovi larvae were discovered in domestic pigs at meat inspection. one red fox was also found infected the same year and in the same area than the infected pigs. this last finding highlighted the presence of trichinellosis in corsican wildlife. a trichinella survey was thus performed in wild boar (sus scrofa) and fox (vulpes vulpes), the two large wild species present on the island, to determine prevalence o ... | 2010 | 20471753 |
| seroprevalence and factors associated with toxoplasma gondii infection in wild boar ( sus scrofa) in a mediterranean island. | knowledge of the factors affecting the presence of toxoplasma gondii in wildlife is limited. here we analyse which local landscape characteristics are associated with the presence of toxoplasmosis in wild boar, sus scrofa, on the island of corsica, france. meat juice samples from 1399 wild boars collected during two hunting seasons were tested for t. gondii antibodies using the modified agglutination test (titre 1:4). the overall seroprevalence was 0.55 (95% ci 0.50-0.59) for the first year and ... | 2010 | 20096148 |
| influence of season and host age on wild boar parasites in corsica using indicator species analysis. | the indicator value (ind val) method which combines measures of fidelity and specificity has been used in a study on wild boar parasites in corsica during 2001-2003. because of its resilience to changes in abundance, indval is a particularly effective tool for ecological bioindication. the ind val method showed how season can influence the occurrence of parasite species in the wild boar, and also identified parasites as bioindicators relative to host age. the randomization test identified five p ... | 2006 | 16469171 |
| assessment of domestic pigs, wild boars and feral hybrid pigs as reservoirs of hepatitis e virus in corsica, france. | in corsica, extensive pig breeding systems allow frequent interactions between wild boars and domestic pigs, which are suspected to act as reservoirs of several zoonotic diseases including hepatitis e virus (hev). in this context, 370 sera and 166 liver samples were collected from phenotypically characterized as pure or hybrid wild boars, between 2009 and 2012. in addition, serum and liver from 208 domestic pigs belonging to 30 farms were collected at the abattoir during the end of 2013. anti-he ... | 2016 | 27556478 |
| a serological survey on classical swine fever (csf), aujeszky's disease (ad) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (prrs) virus infections in french wild boars from 1991 to 1998. | in early 1992, a csf epizootic was clinically recognised in a wild boar population of approximately 1300 animals within an area of 250km(2) located in the east of france. in order to check the csf situation in wild boars outside this area, a serological survey was carried out in the rest of france, for 8 consecutive years (1991-1998). this paper reports on the results obtained during this survey which included wild boars shot during the hunting period but also boars reared within fences. around ... | 2000 | 11042399 |
| pigs and wild boar in corsica harbor echinococcus canadensis g6/7 at levels of concern for public health and local economy. | cystic echinococcosis (ce) is a parasitic zoonosis widespread in the mediterranean area. the parasite is commonly maintained in a domestic cycle involving dogs and livestock species. as no new data have been made available for the last 15 years concerning the french mediterranean island of corsica, a cross-sectional survey at the slaughterhouse was conducted in 2009-2010 to describe the current presence of echinococcus granulosus sensu lato in intermediate hosts. only pig infections with the g6/ ... | 2014 | 24556138 |
