The table presents the results of the host susceptibility classification for 45 pathogens known to impact swine. In addition, the known status (present/absent) of the pathogens in North American wild pigs along with the reported prevalence range are included. If the pathogen was historically present but has been eradicated from North America the year of eradication is provided and pathogens never reported are indicated as NR. Wild pigs are included specifically to identify gaps in available scientific data for differences in susceptibility between domestic swine and wild pigs. Pathogens noted with were not OIE listed at the time of analysis however are included here for completeness and were not included in network analyses.
