AI-generated Abstract

This study assesses the health status of a population of feral hogs located on Fort Riley Army Base in Kansas. The examination of twenty hogs revealed general health but confirmed exposure to parvovirus, enterovirus, and swine influenza, with no signs of brucellosis or pseudorabies. Infestations of parasites and lice were noted, and the findings suggest potential risks for disease transmission to domestic swine due to interactions between feral and domestic populations.
