Porcine Lymphotropic Herpesvirus (PLHV) Was Not Transmitted During Transplantation of Genetically Modified Pig Hearts into Baboons. [PDF]
Porcine lymphotropic herpesviruses -1, -2, and -3 (PLHV-1, PLHV-2, and PLHV-3) are gammaherpesviruses that are widespread in pigs. These viruses are closely related to the human pathogens Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus

Porcine Corneal Tissue and Xenozoonotic Risks: A Review of the Current Evidence. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Corneal opacities affect millions worldwide, with corneal transplantation as the primary treatment. However, donor shortages remain a challenge, leaving thousands waiting for transplants. Xenotransplantation using porcine corneas has emerged as a promising alternative due to anatomical and physiological similarities with human corneas ...
