Because pigs express both avian- and human-type influenza virus receptors in their respiratory tract epithelial cells, they can serve as "mixing vessels" where genetic reassortment occurs between different influenza strains, potentially producing novel epidemic or pandemic pathogens (Lin et al., 2023).
## Major Zoonotic Pathogens Associated with Pigs
### 1. Viral Pathogens
* **Swine Influenza Virus (SIV):** Subtypes such as H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2 circulate globally in pig populations and can transmit to humans in close contact (Augustyniak & Pomorska-Mól, 2023; Lin et al., 2023).
* **Hepatitis E Virus (HEV):** Genotypes 3 and 4 are prevalent in domestic swine, which act as primary reservoirs. Human transmission occurs primarily through the consumption of raw or undercooked pork or contaminated water (Augustyniak & Pomorska-Mól, 2023; Rajkhowa et al., 2025).
* **Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV):** Pigs act as amplifying hosts for JEV. Mosquitoes vector the virus between pigs and humans, where it can cause severe neurological damage (Augustyniak & Pomorska-Mól, 2023; Rajkhowa et al., 2025).
* **Nipah Virus (NiV):** A high-fatality emerging pathogen where pigs serve as amplifying hosts following exposure to fruit bats (Augustyniak & Pomorska-Mól, 2023; Lin et al., 2023).
### 2. Bacterial Pathogens
* **Streptococcus suis:** A major swine pathogen capable of causing meningitis, endocarditis, and septicemia in humans exposed through direct contact or undercooked meat (Augustyniak & Pomorska-Mól, 2023; Lin et al., 2023).
* **Salmonella enterica & Campylobacter spp.:** Foodborne pathogens harbored in the gastrointestinal tract of swine that can contaminate meat products during processing (Augustyniak & Pomorska-Mól, 2023; Lin et al., 2023).
* **Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae & Leptospira spp.:** Bacteria shed via occupational exposure, secretions, or urine, causing conditions such as erysipeloid and leptospirosis in humans (Augustyniak & Pomorska-Mól, 2023; Lin et al., 2023).
* **Brucella suis:** Causes porcine brucellosis and presents chronic flu-like illness and reproductive complications in humans upon exposure (Augustyniak & Pomorska-Mól, 2023; Lin et al., 2023).
### 3. Parasitic Pathogens
* **Trichinella spiralis:** A tissue nematode contracted by humans via consumption of raw or undercooked pork containing encysted larvae (Augustyniak & Pomorska-Mól, 2023; Lin et al., 2023).
* **Taenia solium (Pork Tapeworm):** Can lead to human taeniasis or neurocysticercosis, a major cause of acquired epilepsy in endemic areas (Augustyniak & Pomorska-Mól, 2023).
