A serological survey of classical swine fever in Croatian wild boars (Sus scrofa)

During 2003, serum samples from 259 captured wild boars were collected. This field study was performed in the continental part of the Republic Croatia in an area of cca. 920 km2 with approximately 4200 animals. In order to investigate the CSF prevalence in wild boars in this area the sera were tested for the presence of antibodies to classical swine fever virus (CSFV). A enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) was used. Out of 259 sera examined 121 (46, 71 %) were found positive for the presnece of antobodies to classical swine fever virus. A significant difference in CSF seropositivity was recorded between age groups and yarlings had the higest OR (15, 37).
