title: [The occurrence of Prototheca in fecal samples of domestic and wild swine].
abstract: Prototheca spp. were culturally detected in 64 (28.9%) fecal samples of 221 pigs and in 3 (21.4%) fecal samples of 14 wild boars by using a selective medium, developed by PORE (1973). 25 (39.1%) of 64 Prototheca positive fecal samples of pigs contained Prototheca (P.) zopfii in monoculture, while in 39 fecal samples (60.9%) a mixed culture of P. zopfii and P. moriformis was found. All 3 fecal samples of wild boards contained a monoculture of P. zopfii. The results of this study permit the conclusion that pigs as well as wild boars can harbour and shed Prototheca spp. in variable frequency.
