Juvenile coat colours in mini-pigs at ICG by S. V. Nikitin, S. P. Knyazev, K. S. Shatokhin, G. M. Goncharenko, V. I. Zaporozhets, V. I. Ermolayev

“…It was suggested that the specially planned crosses were able to “reveal” the genetic load of mutations in the complex of alleles involved in the formation of the suit of the wild type and accumulated in the population, not exposed to stabilizing selection on this archaic for domestic pigs’ colour. The accumulation of this genetic cargo at the mini-pigs was made possible by gipostatic suit wild type relative to epistatic colour standard for modern commercial plant breeds.…”

First detection of recombinant variant of African swine fever virus in the Russian Federation (brief communication) by A. S. Igolkin, R. S. Chernyshev, N. G. Zinyakov, E. O. Morozova, A. R. Shotin, K. N. Gruzdev, I. A. Chvala, A. Mazloum

“…Zhao et al. reported on high virulence of the virus related variants as revealed by the challenge tests in domestic pigs. Given the accelerating rates of AFSV molecular evolution in the East Asian countries (China, Vietnam and the Far Eastern regions of Russia), it is required to improve control measures, general and specific prevention, national and international surveillance over the economically significant animal disease.…”

Can growth in captivity alter the calcaneal microanatomy of a wild ungulate? by Cottereau, Romain, Ortiz, Katia, Locatelli, Yann, Houssaye, Alexandra, Cucchi, Thomas

“…Using the calcaneus as a phenotypic marker through qualitative and quantitative 3D microanatomical analyses, we relied on a comparative study across wild boars (Sus scrofa) populations from controlled experimental conditions with different mobility patterns (natural habitat, large pen, and stall) and archaeological specimens collected from middle and late Mesolithic as surrogate for the norm of reaction in European wild boar phenotype before the spread of agriculture and domestic pigs. Results provide evidence for compressive and tensile forces as the main elements affecting the variation in the cortical thickness along the calcaneus. …”

Risk factors for African swine fever spread in wild boar in the Russian Federation by O. I. Zakharova, A. A. Blokhin, O. A. Burova, I. V. Yashin, F. I. Korennoy

“…Other significant factors were the length of roads, the presence of forest cover and outbreaks in domestic pigs. However, on the whole, for all the infected Subjects, the regression model demonstrated the failure of the wild boar population density factor to explain the observed ASF outbreak distribution, and this may be indicative of the existence of other epizootic drivers of the disease spread in the wild. …”
