It is the cause of porcine erysipelas and is capable of inflicting outbreaks in different domestic and wild animals. Pigs are a reservoir of an infection, notably for different pigs, since E. Rhusopathiae can persist for lengthy intervals in lesions and persists in the tonsils, bone marrow, and gut of wholesome swine . Aggregation and excessive wild boar density can influence spread (Boadella et al., 2011b, Risco et al., 2011, Ruiz-Fons, 2017).
