Key Points

The study aims to assess the presence of viral and bacterial pathogens in zoo ungulates across central Europe.
Tested 926 individuals from 69 species of bovids, cervids, and camelids.
Analyzed veterinary data from eight zoos from 1998 to 2004.
Investigated potential epidemiologic factors affecting transmission.
Detected endemic malignant catarrhal fever in zoo ruminants.
Identified Chlamydophila psittaci as prevalent among the species tested.
Discussed factors influencing cross-species transmission such as population size and exhibit type.

Implication

This serosurvey reveals endemic pathogens in zoo ungulates, suggesting risks for cross-species infection.
