Swine brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that affects both domestic pigs () and wild pigs such as wild boar (). We evaluated the presence of antibodies against spp. in wild boar hunted in the Campania region, Italy, during the hunting season of 2016-17. Serum samples were collected from 434 wild boars and tested for antibodies against spp. For detection of antibodies to swine brucellosis, the rose Bengal test (RBT) and a blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed. Of 434 serum samples, 22 (5.1%) tested by RBT and 58 (13.5%) tested using the blocking ELISA were positive for brucella. The seroprevalences of spp. did not differ between the sexes or age classes, while the prevalence of infected animals was positively correlated with the Avellino province. Our data showed that wild boar in the Campania region are exposed to brucella infection, and that the prevalence of the disease has increased in recent years.
猪布鲁氏菌病是一种人畜共患疾病，影响家猪（）和野猪（）等野猪。我们评估了意大利坎帕尼亚地区 2016-17 年狩猎季节中狩猎的野猪中对 spp.的抗体存在情况。从 434 头野猪中采集血清样本，并测试了 spp.的抗体。为了检测猪布鲁氏菌病的抗体，进行了虎红平板凝集试验（RBT）和阻断酶联免疫吸附试验（ELISA）。在 434 份血清样本中，通过 RBT 检测的 22 份（5.1%）和使用阻断 ELISA 检测的 58 份（13.5%）对布鲁氏菌呈阳性。 spp.的血清阳性率在性别或年龄组之间没有差异，而感染动物的流行率与阿韦利诺省呈正相关。我们的数据表明，坎帕尼亚地区的野猪受到布鲁氏菌感染，近年来疾病的流行率有所增加。
