Gene Cloning, Tissue Expression Profiles and Antiviral Activities of Interferon-β from Two Chinese Miniature Pig Breeds

open access: yesVeterinary Sciences, 2022
The porcine interferon (PoIFN) complex represents an ideal model for studying IFN evolution which has resulted from viral pressure during domestication.

Genetic Diversity of Porcine Circovirus 2 in Wild Boar and Domestic Pigs in Ukraine

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is responsible for a number of porcine circovirus-associated diseases (PCVAD) that can severely impact domestic pig herds.

Assessment of Domestic Pigs, Wild Boars and Feral Hybrid Pigs as Reservoirs of Hepatitis E Virus in Corsica, France

open access: yesViruses, 2016
In Corsica, extensive pig breeding systems allow frequent interactions between wild boars and domestic pigs, which are suspected to act as reservoirs of several zoonotic diseases including hepatitis E virus (HEV).

Current status and development prospects of India’s pig industry

open access: yesIndian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2021
Pig production and marketing have been driven by the growing consumer demand for high quality and low cost animal protein. As a result, organized and industrial piggery has been rapidly developing globally.

Tame affairs: domesticated transposase and domestic pigs [PDF]

open access: yesEMBO reports, 2010
Long thought to be genomic junk, domesticated transposons have turned out to be an incredible source of new genes. Two studies—one this issue of EMBO reports—show that a domesticated hAT transposase is a transcriptional repressor of IGF2 that regulates muscle growth and has over 1,200 additional putative targets in the mammalian genome.

Chromosomal control of pig populations in France: 2002-2006 survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The chromosomal control of pig populations has been widely developed in France over the last ten years. By December 31st, 2006, 13 765 individuals had been karyotyped in our laboratory, 62% of these since 2002.

The Origin of the Domestic Pig: Independent Domestication and Subsequent Introgression [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 2000
Abstract The domestic pig originates from the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa). We have sequenced mitochondrial DNA and nuclear genes from wild and domestic pigs from Asia and Europe. Clear evidence was obtained for domestication to have occurred independently from wild boar subspecies in Europe and Asia.

Wild and domestic pig interactions at the wildlife-livestock interface of Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda, and the potential association with African Swine Fever outbreaks

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2016
Bushpigs (Potamochoerus larvatus) and warthogs (Phacochoerus africanus), which are widely distributed in Eastern Africa, are likely to cohabitate in the same environment with domestic pigs, facilitating the transmission of shared pathogens.
