This study aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of among wild boars inhabiting Poland.
Serum samples were collected from 281 wild boars of varying ages (juveniles, adolescents and adults) and subjected to testing using a commercial indirect ELISA assay.
The prevalence of antibodies was notably high, reaching 75.1% overall and varying slightly across different age categories (90.0% in juveniles, 70.7% in adolescents and 79.6% in adults). Despite these variations, no statistically significant differences were observed among age groups (P-value > 0.05).
The elevated prevalence of identified in this study underscores the significance of wild boars as natural reservoirs of this bacterium. Further investigations are warranted to identify the risk factors associated with disease transmission to other species, including humans.
本研究旨在评估波兰野猪中[某种疾病或病原体]的血清流行率。
从281头不同年龄(幼年、青年和成年)的野猪采集血清样本,并使用商业间接ELISA检测法进行检测。
[某种疾病或病原体]抗体的流行率显著较高,总体达到75.1%,在不同年龄类别中略有差异(幼年为90.0%,青年为70.7%,成年为79.6%)。尽管存在这些差异,但在年龄组之间未观察到统计学上的显著差异(P值>0.05)。
本研究中确定的[某种疾病或病原体]流行率升高凸显了野猪作为该细菌天然宿主的重要性。有必要进一步调查以确定与疾病传播给其他物种(包括人类)相关的风险因素。
