The first report of Pseudorabies virus (PRV) DNA detection in wild boars in Croatia

The causative agent of Pseudorabies (Aujeszky’s disease) is Pseudorabies virus (PRV) from the Herpesviridae family, genus Alphaherpesvirus. Although the natural host of the virus are swine, most mammals can be infected and develop severe signs of disease, often resulting in high mortality. Nowadays, wild boars are recognized as potential reservoirs of PRV not only for domestic pigs but also for hunting dogs and native wildlife species. This is the first confirmation of PRV DNA in wild boars in Croatia.
