Sažetak
The research in the presented work was conducted in the hunting ground areas involving
7 counties of the Republic of Croatia. In total, the number of 745 animals was investigated,
the majority being represented by material of shot animals during the hunt – 495,
followed by samples collected from live animals – 264, and cadavers found in hunting
grounds – 31. Animals harvested during the hunt were classified according to age and sex,
and their body weight was measured. All the carcasses were studied by pathoanatomical
means. The material collected during the postmortem examination as well as the sera obtained
intra-vitam were submitted to consecutive laboratory tests. Of the entire number of
examined female animals 72,8% were found to be pregnant. A positive result for hog cholera
was presented in 4,8% of examined spleen specimens while on serological examination
39,3% were found to have titers of antibodies. In serum reaction for morbus Aujeszky
30,4% was presented with positive titer while for parvovirus infection, PRRS, brucellosis
and leptospirosis positive titer was found in 38%, 10,8%, 14%, and 30,6% of examined
sera, respectively. On lymph node cultural examination for mycobacterium microorganisms
10,6% was presented as positive. By parasitological means a total of 12 species of phylum
nematode, 1 species of phylum acanthocephala, 3 from the class of trematode, 2 from
the class of cestode, 3 species from the group of protozoa, 1 species of lice, 2 species of ticks
and one species of mites were determined. All of the obtained results are discussed and the
need of further investigation is proposed.
