Why the study?
Understanding disease dynamics and viral shedding in wild boar, as well as disease spreading to domestic pigs, is critical for developing effective foot-and-mouth disease control and eradication measures.
Population
Wild boar and domestic pigs
Comparison
Infection with FMDV strains O/TAI/315/2016 and A/MOG/2013 via inoculation vs contact exposure

Wild boar can be infected with and transmit FMDV, but contact-exposed wild boar may not show obvious clinical signs, which has implications for epidemiological surveillance.
