Top: A brown hare leveret belonging to a litter of four orphans was found opportunistically in the wild. Subsequently it was demonstrated that it had antibodies against European brown hare syndrome virus, indicating for the first time that passive transfer of immu­nity to this virus, probably through colostrum, occurs in hares.

Middle: Scanning electron micrograph of cultured bac­terial cells of the intestinal spirochaete ‘Brachyspira suana- tina’ isolated from a pig. This pig enteropathogen colonizes

the intestines of free-living wild mallards and domestic pigs and may be experimentally transferred between the two species. Photograph: Desiree S. Jansson and Leif Ljung.
