- Abstract
Wild boar (Sus scrofa) are known an important reservoir for multiple infectious diseases. While the burden exerted by disease from the free-range wild boar in China has not been evaluated. In northeastern China, where the boundary to the Russian Federal Far East, the big cat protection projects across the two countries and the unstopped epidemics of canine distemper (CD) and rabies (RV) in Far East Russia arouse our great concern. Revealing the epidemiological information has become a pressing matter of the moment. The 358 serum samples from hybrid wild boar collected along the Sino-Russia boundary in 11 cities in Heilongjiang province were tested by cELISA for antibodies of RV and canine distemper virus (CDV). The AusVet Epitools program was run to estimate the true prevalence, which revealed the positive rate of RV and CDV antibodies to be 10.06% (95% CI 7.14, 13.65) and 0.56% (95% CI 0.07, 2), respectively. The highest RV seroprevalences were reported in Huanan county of Jiamusi city (100%) followed by Ningan county of Mudanjiang city (42.86%). CDV antibody was only identified in Hegang city with a seroprevalence of 12.5%. The overall true prevalence for RV and CDV were estimated as 10.07% (95% CI 7.19, 13.85) and −0.04% (95% CI −0.48, 1.51). No association was found between antibody responses and city, gender, and age. The study for the first time reported the prevalence of RV and CDV based on the antibody investigation in wild boar in the Heilongjiang province of China. We share our monitoring results would aid in the construction of the epidemiological history of CDV and RV in the Heilongjiang province of China.
