Sažetak
During 2001 and 2002 on seven localities in Croatia a survey on the prevalence of brucellosis in wild swine was carried out. For serological analysis Rose Begal test, slow agglutination test, complement fixation test and indirect enzyme immunoassay were used. The results of PCR using BR-UP and BRU-LOW preimers confirmed that all of the isolates were from Brucella spp. On the basis of investigations it was concluded that in Croatia wild swine are natural reservoirs of Brucella suis biovar 2, representing in this way a permanent and potential source of brucellosis for domestic and wild animals.
