Intensive pig farming linked to dangerous zoonotic pathogens, study warns
In a recent study published in the journal PNAS, researchers investigated how large-scale livestock rearing may result in the emergence and transmission of novel, potentially zoonotic pathogens. They combined multiple lines of evidence from molecular dating, comparative genomic analyses, and phylogeography to examine how the rearing of pigs allowed for novel Streptococcus suis lineages, some […]
