Emerging swine zoonoses

Tara C Smith et al. Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis. 2011 Sep.

Abstract

The majority of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic in origin. Swine represent a potential reservoir for many novel pathogens and may transmit these to humans via direct contact with live animals (such as swine farmers and large animal veterinarians), or to the general human population via contaminated meat. We review recent emerging microbes associated with swine and discuss public health implications.
