Sažetak
During the research period (2001-2005), the lymph nodes of 123 wild boars from seven locations in the Republic of Croatia were tested for the presence of mycobacteria. Mycrobacteria were isolated from the lymph nodes of 15 (12.2%) wild boars from fifi ve locations. Specififi c hybridization showed that 11 (8.9%) isolates belonged to M. avium, 2 (1.6%) isolates were typed as M. fortuitum, and 2 (1.6%) isolates belonged to M. gordonae. All 11 isolates belonging to M. avium sp. were tested by means of the specififi c primers P1 FR300 and P2 FR300. Product size in all isolates was 300 bp, which confifi rms that M. avium subsp. hominissuis was present in all of them. As in swine from intensive farming, M. avium subsp. hominissuis is a dominant mycrobacteria type in wild boar in Croatia. The results lead to the conclusion that the most important source for wild boar is an environment suitable for the development and survival of M. avium subsp. hominissuis, as confifi rmed in earlier research studies by other authors.
