Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...

First report of porcine parainfluenza virus 1 (species Porcine respirovirus 1) in Europe
Abstract Porcine respirovirus 1, also known as Porcine parainfluenza virus 1 (PPIV‐1) was first identified in Hong Kong in 2013, later in the USA and most recently in Chile. Here, we report the first detection of PPIV‐1 outside these three regions. We screened 22 farms in Hungary by testing 15 nasal swab samples obtained from 3‐week‐old piglets (3 ...
