The Role of Wildlife and Pests in the Transmission of
Pathogenic Agents to Domestic Pigs: A Systematic Review

The processes of globalization, human activities, and the growing popularity of

outdoor ecological pork production contribute to increased interactions between domestic pigs and

wildlife. Wild animals and pests can carry harmful pathogens that pose a threat to domestic pigs,

resulting in economic losses at the local, national, and global levels. However, our understanding

of the specific pathways through which these pathogens are transmitted between these animals is

limited. This review has collected and examined information on the diversity and extent of pathogen

spread from various wild animals and pests to domestic pigs.
