Abstract
The examination of an outbreak of brucellosis in domestic pigs showed unambiguously the existence of a natural focus of infection in the pop ulation of wild boars. Contrary to former assumptions persistance of B r. suis, Biovar 2, to occur mainly in the population of hares, evident ly a change of hosts has taken place. Possible cause might be a contra ry development of the density of these wild animal populations. Health control of wild animals should not be neglected, as it is an importan t part of the prevention of epidemic diseases.
