Estimation of hepatitis E virus transmission among pigs due to contact-exposure [PDF]

, 2008
Locally acquired hepatitis E in humans from industrialized countries has been repeatedly suggested to originate from pigs. Pigs may serve as a reservoir of hepatitis E virus (HEV) for humans when a typical infected pig causes on average more than one ...

Comparative analysis of the mineral composition in the meat of wild boar and domestic pig

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2019
The aim of the study was to analyse the content of selected minerals in the samples of sirloin, i.e. longissimus lumborum muscle of wild boars (Sus scrofa scrofa L.) and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa f. domestica), taking the animal sex into account. Muscles

Aujeszky’s Disease and Hepatitis E Viruses Transmission between Domestic Pigs and Wild Boars in Corsica: Evaluating the Importance of Wild/Domestic Interactions and the Efficacy of Management Measures

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2018
Wildlife species as reservoirs of infectious pathogens represent a serious constraint in the implementation of disease management strategies. In the Mediterranean island of Corsica, the dynamics of hepatitis E virus (HEV) and Aujeszky’s disease virus ...

Predicting tail-biting from behaviour of pigs prior to outbreaks [PDF]

, 2009
Predicting that an outbreak of tail-biting is going to Occur in a group of pigs would be a useful tool for farmers. In a prospective longitudinal study, 24 groups of c.30 unclocked pigs were followed from birth to slaughter weight.
