Antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bb) were detected in sera from all 10 regions, and overall seroprevalence was 12.8%. Titres of antibodies ranged from 1:80 to 1:640. Anti-borrelia antibodies were most frequent in the wild boars from three administrative regions of the Czech Republic: Moravskoslezský (25.0%), Pardubický (25.0%) and Královehradecký (24.1%), followed by the regions Plzeňský (16.7%), Olomoucký (13.3%), Jihomoravský (12.8%), Vyškovský (11.1%), Jihočeský (11.1%), Zlínský (10.3%) and Liberecký (8.9%). Seasonal seroprevalence increased in March and April, the peak was in May. The results suggest an increased extent of wild boars' exposure to Bb in predominantly rural and forested regions.
