Distribution and phylogenetic analysis of porcine parvoviruses in the wild boar population of Russia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Porcine parvoviruses (PPVs) are widespread worldwide in the swine population. PPV1 is a significant infectious agent in pig production, causing porcine reproductive failure. The pathogenic potential of novel PPVs has been poorly studied. Since wild boars are a reservoir for PPVs, the aim of this study was to investigate their prevalence and genetic diversity in the wild boar population. Tissue samples (spleen, lungs, and lymph nodes) collected from 108 wild boars from three regions of Russia during 2021-2024 were analyzed.

Results

PPV1-7 were found in wild boar populations in Russia, and the most abundant species were PPV7 (59.3%) and PPV3 (49.1%). The research did not reveal any significant relationship between the gender and age of the animals and the prevalence
