Haemophilus parasuis is a recognized pathogen in domestic pigs; the pathogen has been also isolated from healthy wild boar (Sus scrofa). In the current report, a case of fatal H. parasuis infection in a wild boar piglet from central Spain is described. The affected animal presented severe pneumonic lesions, inflammation in tarsal joints with presence of fibrinous deposits, and epidural hemorrhage in the atlanto-occipital joint. Pure growth of H. parasuis was obtained from lungs and tarsal joints. The current case illustrates the susceptibility of wild boar to this agent. The gross pathology results were similar to that described in domestic pigs, but there were no fibrinous deposits on serosal surfaces.
副猪嗜血杆菌是家猪中一种公认的病原体;该病原体也已从健康野猪(野猪)中分离出来。在本报告中,描述了一例来自西班牙中部的野猪仔猪致命副猪嗜血杆菌感染病例。受影响的动物出现严重的肺部病变、跗关节炎症并伴有纤维蛋白沉积物,以及寰枕关节硬膜外出血。从肺和跗关节中获得了副猪嗜血杆菌的纯培养物。本病例说明了野猪对这种病原体的易感性。大体病理学结果与家猪中描述的相似,但浆膜表面没有纤维蛋白沉积物。
