| yersinia enterocolitica isolates from wild boars hunted in lower saxony, germany. | yersiniosis is strongly associated with the consumption of pork contaminated with enteropathogenic yersinia enterocolitica, which is harbored by domestic pigs without showing clinical signs of disease. in contrast to data on y. enterocolitica isolated from conventionally reared swine, investigations into the occurrence of y. enterocolitica in wild boars in germany are rare. the objectives of the study were to get knowledge about these bacteria and their occurrence in wild boars hunted in norther ... | 2015 | 25956779 |
| age-related and regional differences in the prevalence of hepatitis e virus-specific antibodies in pigs in germany. | an increasing number of acute autochthonous human hepatitis e virus (hev)-infections was noticed in germany and other developed countries, most likely the result of a zoonotic virus transmission from pig, wild boar and deer. currently there is still a lack of profound data concerning the actual prevalence of hev-specific antibodies in domestic pig herds in germany, in particular for regions with high pig density, and its age-dependency. 2273 domestic pig sera were collected in 2011 mainly from b ... | 2013 | 24238666 |
| [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 |
| [occurrence and geographical distribution of antibodies to hepatitis e virus in wild boars of saxony-anhalt, germany (2011)]. | hepatitis e virus (hev) may cause acute hepatitis in humans. in industrialised countries, acute hepatitis e generally occurs only sporadically. however, in recent years an increase in the number of reported cases has been observed. concerning autochthonous, non-travel-associated cases, a zoonotic transmission, particularly from the animal reservoirs of domestic pig and wild boar, and via undercooked meat is assumed. meanwhile, hev has been detected in domestic pig holdings as well as in wild boa ... | 2013 | 23758038 |
| seroprevalence of hepatitis e virus (hev) in humans living in high pig density areas of germany. | an increase in acute autochthonous hepatitis e virus (hev) infections has been recorded in germany. these are suspected to be zoonotically transmitted from wild boar, deer and domestic pig. the latter may represent a major reservoir for hev. in this study, 537 sera from humans living in westphalia and lower saxony, representing areas of high pig density in germany, were tested for the presence of hev-specific antibodies. among them were 302 individuals with occupational, direct contact to pigs a ... | 2014 | 24744181 |
| serologic and molecular survey of hepatitis e virus in german deer populations. | hepatitis e virus (hev) is a human pathogen that is primarily transmitted by the fecal-oral route and causes a usually self-limiting acute viral hepatitis. the virus is endemic in developing countries of africa, asia, and latin america and is responsible for sporadic cases in industrialized countries. in western europe, an increasing number of autochthonous cases have been associated with zoonotic transmissions of hev from domestic and wild animals. in germany, animal reservoirs for hev have bee ... | 2016 | 26528571 |
| [genetic typing of german isolates of classical swine fever virus]. | during the last decade several outbreaks of classical swine fever (csf) occurred in germany in domestic pigs and in wild boar, respectively. two major epidemics which also affected other eu member states were recorded. to support epidemiological investigations genetic typing was applied and virus isolates originating from different outbreaks in germany were assigned to groups and virus types. two genomic regions were selected for the phylogenetic analysis, namely 150 nucleotides from the 5' non- ... | 2001 | 11449911 |
| spatio-temporal analysis of the progression of aujeszky's disease virus infection in wild boar of saxony-anhalt, germany. | aujeszky's disease (ad, pseudorabies) is a notifiable disease caused by suid herpesvirus 1 (suhv-1), also named pseudorabies virus (prv). the study aimed at determining the occurrence and spatio-temporal trend of specific antibodies to ad virus (adv) among wild boar of saxony-anhalt, a landlocked federal state situated in the western part of eastern germany. to this end, a total of 7,209 blood samples were collected and tested from 2000 to 2011. an average seroprevalence of 6.8% was found for th ... | 2013 | 24258896 |
