It is well known that wild boar (Sus scrofa ssp. majori) is a host of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2). In many Countries, studies reported the presence of this virus in wild boar. One hundred and sixty-five lymph nodes were sampled from 86 wild boars shot in the province of Bologna. Histologically 3 cases displayed a PMWS related pattern; 1 of which was stained by immunohistochemistry (IHC) (revealing the viral capsid antigen), that also showed 6 positive subjects (7%), as the whole. In situ hybridisation (ISH) (performed in 1 out of 6 reactive cases) was positive, as well. The statistical parameters were not evaluated because of the small population sampled. However, PCV-2 was detected by histology-IHC and ISH combination in wild boar in Emilia-Romagna.

Abstract
It is well known that wild boar (Sus scrofa ssp. majori) is a host of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2). In many Countries, studies reported the presence of this virus in wild boar. One hundred and sixty-five lymph nodes were sampled from 86 wild boars shot in the province of Bologna. Histologically 3 cases displayed a PMWS related pattern; 1 of which was stained by immunohistochemistry (IHC) (revealing the viral capsid antigen), that also showed 6 positive subjects (7%), as the whole. In situ hybridisation (ISH) (performed in 1 out of 6 reactive cases) was positive, as well. The statistical parameters were not evaluated because of the small population sampled. However, PCV-2 was detected by histology-IHC and ISH combination in wild boar in Emilia-Romagna.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
