title: The first detection of PRRSV in wild boars in Slovakia.
abstract: PRRSV was confirmed by a nested RT-PCR in two out of 129 samples originating from wild boars from Eastern Slovakia. Virus isolates were genetically typed in ORF7 as PRRSV-1, EU-1 with 99.7% (sample 14WB) and 100% (sample 10WB) nucleotide sequence similarity to Lelystad reference strain and Porcilis PRRS vaccine strain, respectively. The origin of PRRSV in these wild boars is unclear but it is highly likely that virus was transmitted from vaccinated domestic pigs to wild boars.
