A comparison of wild boar and domestic pig microbiota does not reveal a loss of microbial species but an increase in alpha diversity and opportunistic genera in domestic pigs

This study compares the gut microbiota of wild and domestic pigs, finding higher alpha diversity and increased opportunistic genera in domestic pigs, but no loss of microbial species.

Quantifying Spatio-Temporal Overlap of Invasive Wild Pigs and Domestic Pig Farms as a Proxy for Potential Disease Transmission Risk
