Overview

Analysis identifies leptospira serovars in wild boar population, suggesting zoonotic risks for humans.

Key Points

  • Overall, 12.4% of wild boar tested seropositive, indicating a significant prevalence of leptospira infections.
  • Australis was the most prevalent serovar, found in 22.8% of positive cases, followed by Pomona and Pyrogenes.
  • Diagnostic tests using the microscopic agglutination test confirmed the presence of various leptospira serovars.
  • Findings point to the importance of additional screening in wild boar for assessing exposure risk in humans and livestock.
