Host genetic heterozygosity and age are important determinants of porcine circovirus type 2 disease prevalence in European wild boar

Emerging and zoonotic diseases are important challenges for veterinary and public health. It is therefore a key issue to assess the relative importance of various factors for disease dynamics and to understand the mechanisms behind these factors and interactions. Here, we evaluate the influence of a...
