AB [EN] The wild boar (Sus scrofa) is a mammal with a broad distribution in the Eurasian territory and a potential reservoir for severalzoonotic pathogens. Besides being part of the Mediterranean ecosystem and perpetuating these agents in the environment,this species is usually consumed in the Iberian Peninsula, representing a potential public health threat. Due to its extensiveexpansion and colonization of new geographical areas, which leads to increasing contact with humans, domestic animals,and wildlife, infectious disease assessments are crucial. During the last two decades (2001–2021), several researchers havestudied wild boars to identify, understand, and predict potential health risks and disease outbreaks in animals and humans.North-eastern, central-eastern (mainly because of tuberculosis), and southern Portugal were the regions where most pathogens have been identified. Some agents with zoonotic importance (but with few reported data) should be the focus of futuresurveillance studies, such as Leptospira spp., Brucella spp., or Trichinella spp. This review aims to summarize the availableinformation on pathogens (bacteria, viruses, and parasites) reported in wild boars, in Portugal, in the last two decades, witha particular focus on agents with zoonotic potential.
