Summary. Wild boars (Sus scrofa) are a reservoir of leptospirosis in nature and a source of infection for domestic pigs and the human, especially those at risk. Wild boars (n = 516) and domestic pigs (n = 1042) were tested for Leptospira spp. using microscopic agglutination test (MAT), which was conducted with 21 Leptospira’s serological groups. The circulation of common pathogenic leptospires among wild boars and domestic pigs in the territory of Ukraine was established. Registered positive-responding animals in the MAT among wild boars were 86.8%, among domestic pigs — 38.1%. Analysis of the etiological structure of leptospirosis among wild boars and domestic pigs showed that the dominant serological groups were Icterohaemorrhagiae, Australis (serovar bratislava), Pomona, Canicola, Grippotyphosa, Sejroe, Hebdomadis, Tarassovi.

Keywords: leptospirosis, etiological structure, wild boars, domestic pigs, microscopic agglutination test, Ukraine
