  1. legend: Risk factor evaluations for porcine circovirus-2 (PCV-2), porcine circovirus-3 (PCV-3) and porcine parvovirus (PPV). For each pathogen, the number of positive animals out of the total, the % prevalence, and the 95% confidence intervals are reported. Fisher’s exact test revealed an higher PCV-2 prevalence for young wild boars
