| cytochrome b based genetic differentiation of indian wild pig (sus scrofa cristatus) and domestic pig (sus scrofa domestica) and its use in wildlife forensics. | the indian wild pig (sus scrofa cristatus) is a protected species and listed in the indian wildlife (protection) act, 1972. the wild pig is often hunted illegally and sold in market as meat warranting punishment under law. to avoid confusion in identification of these two subspecies during wildlife forensic examinations, we describe genetic differentiation of indian wild and domestic pigs using a molecular technique. analysis of sequence generated from the partial fragment (421bp) of mitochondri ... | 2012 | 23601732 |
| single nucleotide markers of d-loop for identification of indian wild pig (sus scrofa cristatus). | partial fragment of d-loop region extending from 35 to 770 were compared with corresponding sequences of 16 wild pigs and 9 domestic pig breeds from different parts of the world for detection of single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) markers in the region. the paper also reappraises snp markers from two fragments of cytochrome b gene and a fragment 12s rrna gene distinguishing the indian wild pig from other pig species of the world. | 2015 | 27047129 |
| classical swine fever in wild hog: report of its prevalence in northeast india. | classical swine fever virus (csfv) is the causative agent of a highly contagious disease, hog cholera in pigs. the disease is endemic in many parts of the world and vaccination is the only way to protect the animals from csfv infection. wild hogs belong to the species sus scrofa cristatus under the family suidae are quite susceptible to csfv infection. the epidemiological role concerning classical swine fever (csf) in india is largely unknown. we report here the three isolated cases of csf in wi ... | 2016 | 25430917 |
