Sažetak
In the paper the results of serological, bacteriological and patohistological findings for brucellosis in wild and domestic swine held on pasture is the two regions of Croatia are presented. In the region of Djakovo the blood samples of 211 wild boars were analysed and in 29.4% of animals positive reactions were established. In the same region the blood samples of 1080 domestic swine held on pastures were anallysed and positive reaction established in 12.3% swine. In the regions surrounding Lonjsko Polje the blood samples of 53 wild boars were analysed and positive serological reactions were demonstrated in 22.6% of swine. In the places around Lonjsko Polje the blood samples of 901 swine were serologicaly analysed and positive reaction established in 13.5% domestic swine. The delivered materials of wild and domestic swine were analysed bacteriologically and Brucella suis biovar 2 isolated. On the basis of our investigations it can be concluded that on the territory of Croatia there is a prevalence of Brucella suis biovar 2 in swine, that wild boars are the carriers and reservoirs of Brucella suis biovar 2 in swine, that wild boars are the carriers and reservoirs of Brucella suis biovar 2 and that brucellosis in swine held extensively occurs rather frequently.
