direct contact between infected wild boars and domestic pigs or indirectly through contaminated environments, feed, or water sources
European brown hare can carry and shed B. suis biotype 2.

F
B.suis
Arthritis is a typical clinical sign of porcine brucellosis.

Stock exchange is the only safe eradication method in case of swine brucellosis
T
Swine brucellosis is an exotic disease in Europe, we can see this disease in South-East Asia
only
F
In swine brucellosis the results of serological tests can be used only for herd diagnosis,
because the low sensitivity and specificity of these serological tests
T
Pneumonia and nasal discharge are characteristic clinical findings in swine brucellosis.
F
sows:
- abortion, stillbirth
- poor developed piglets
- infertility temporarly
boars:
- orchitis, sterility : testicular abnormality
- lameness, incoordination
B. suis biotype 2 is widespread in wild swine population all over the world.
T
Swine brucellosis can be treated successfully with antibiotics
F
NO TREATMENT
Porcine brucellosis is a notifiable disease.
T
With the help of the appropriate antibiotics we can eradicate B. suis from a swine herd.
F
NO TREATMENT
Humans are not susceptible to the causative agent of swine brucellosis.
F
Wild hare is an important reservoir of Brucella abortus biotype 2 in Europe
T
Brucella suis was isolated by Sir David Bruce as a first time in 1886 in Malta Island.
F
Brucella suis is the causative agent of porcine brucellosis.
T
Brucella suis biotype 2 can cause disease in hares.
T
In the case of swine brucellosis, no clinical signs can be seen in boars
F
sows:
- abortion, stillbirth

Stillbirth is a frequent clinical sign of porcine brucellosis.
T
sows:
- abortion, stillbirth
- poor developed piglets
- infertility temporarly
Diarrhoea is a frequent clinical sign of porcine brucellosis.
F
NO diarrhoe in brucellosis, affect reproductive system!
Selection (test & slaughter) method is not an appropriate method for eradication of swine brucellosi
