摘要: ABSTRACT: Feral swine (Sus scrofa) are a pathogen reservoir for pseudorabies virus (PrV). The can be fatal to wildlife and contributes economic losses in the industry worldwide. National surveillance efforts US use serology detect PrV-specific antibodies feral populations, but PrV exposure is not direct indicator of transmission among conspecifics or non-suid species. We measured antibody production presence DNA four tissue types from populations Florida, US. sampled blood, nasal, oral, genital swabs 551 individuals at 39 sites during 2014–16. Of animals tested production, 224 436 (51%) were positive while 38 549 (7%) viral shedding quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-positive PrV. detection across all collected sample (blood, [vaginal] swabs) suggested vi...
