Advances in understanding the genetics of and breeding for resistance to infectious disease in pigs

Advances in understanding the genetics of and breeding for resistance to infectious disease in pigsPigs are exposed to numerous infectious disease pathogens, with large economic and welfare implications. How pigs respond to disease is in part determined by genetics. Thus, genetic improvement is one of the tools that can be used to mitigate the impact of disease, complementing biosecurity and vaccination. Although gene editing is a promising tool to create pigs that are resistant to specific pathogens, this is complicated by the multitude of
