Over 30 serotypes are acknowledged, however serotypes 1 and 2 are usually of higher significance in home pigs. Serotype 1 infects suckling pigs and isn’t pathogenic for other species, while serotype 2 causes disease in weaner and feeder pigs and humans. Serotype 7 may also be zoonotic (Craig et al., 2015).
Feral swine and wild boars are identified carriers of several S. Suis serotypes, some of that are probably zoonotic (Baroch et al., 2015, Baums et al., 2007, Sánchez del Rey et al., 2014, Seol et al., 1998, Risco et al., 2015).
