Virological Characterization of Pigs with Erythema Multiforme
Erythema multiforme in pigs is an acute, self-limiting disease characterized by red skin areas and often associated with anorexia, fever and respiratory problems. The cause of the disease remains unknown.

Evidence for Microchimerism in Baboon Recipients of Pig Hearts
Xenotransplantation, like allotransplantation, is usually associated with microchimerism, i.e., the presence of cells from the donor in the recipient.

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Determinants of High Titer in Recombinant Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses [PDF]
ABSTRACT Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) pose a potential stumbling block for therapeutic xenotransplantation, with the greatest threat coming from viruses generated by recombination between members of the PERV subgroup A (PERV-A) and PERV-C families (PERV-A/C recombinants).

Genome-wide inactivation of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) [PDF]
Virally cleansing the pig genome Transplants from pigs could be a solution to a shortage of human organs for transplantation. Unfortunately, porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are rife in pigs and can be transmitted to humans, risking disease. L. Yang et al.

Transmission of Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus Produced from Different Recipient Cells In Vivo. [PDF]
Humanized pigs have been developed to reduce the incidence of immune rejection in xenotransplantation, but significant concerns remain, such as transmission of viral zoonosis. Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV), which exist in the genome of pigs, are

Yucatan SLAD/D haplotype miniature swine are candidates as organ donors for xenotransplantation. A full-length replication-competent PERV-C provirus was characterized. The provirus was chromosomally mapped in the pig genome.

Pigs are widely considered donor animals for xenotransplantation to solve the critical issue of human donor organ shortage. However, the risk of zoonosis needs to be overcome during xenotransplantation.

Transspecies transmission of retroviruses is a frequent event, and the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) is a well-known example. The gibbon ape leukaemia virus (GaLV) and koala retrovirus (KoRV), two gammaretroviruses, are also the result of a ...

The prevention strategies of swine viruses related to xenotransplantation
Xenotransplantation is considered a solution for the shortage of organs, and pigs play an indispensable role as donors in xenotransplantation. The biosecurity of pigs, especially the zoonotic viruses carried by pigs, has attracted attention.
