Viral metagenomics demonstrates that domestic pigs are a potential reservoir for Ndumu virus
The rising demand for pork has resulted in a massive expansion of pig production in Uganda. This has resulted in increased contact between humans and pigs. Pigs can act as reservoirs for emerging infectious diseases. Therefore identification of potential zoonotic pathogens is important for public he...
