Main Article

Figure 1

Part of the metropolitan area of Barcelona, Spain, showing land characteristics, Collserola Natural Park, the location of the wild boars sampled, and results of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 strains, identified by both isolation and molecular detection. Letters indicate locations where several wild boars were sampled, obtained by box traps (A, n = 21) or regular hunting campaigns (B, n = 9; C, n = 14; D, n = 5).
