During 2003, serum samples from 214 wild boars were collected in 10 hunting areas in the continental part of the country.The sera were examined by enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) and in the virus neutralization test (VNT).Out of 214 sera tested 111 (51.87 %) were positive by ELISA and regarding neutralising antibodies,against CSFV 75 (35.05 %) samples were positive. In the VNT with the C-strain (conventional live vaccine strain China) and the strain Uelzen were used.Samples were also tested for neutralizing antibodies against border disease virus (BDV) using the strain 137/4 and against bovine viral diar-rhoea virus (BVDV) using the NADL strain. Neutralizing antibodies against the C-strain were detected in 36 sera (16.82 %), against strain Uelzen in 17 sera (7.94%) and in 22 sera (10.28 %) against both strains. In five sera (2.33 %) neutralizing antibodies against BVDV and BDV were found.  a0341-6593
