Sounds like a form of parvo virus for dogs.

To be honest it wouldn't suprise me if feral hogs have a form of immunity to it.

Feral hogs may not have any more special immunity from it than any other animal but being outdoors in the wide open and being able to move around from one place to another, the rate of exposure is much less. There's many viruses and diseases that feral hogs carry but because they are not confined to one place and kept in close contact with each other, major outbreaks aren't as big a threat.

i agree bbb .but knowing the difference in my kids and the kids raised on concrete and in the house i will have to say there is a difference in immune systems though lol. when a virus does hit a sounder of wild hogs the ones that live pass on what ever immunities they might have had to their offspring .... hogs on concrete have no immunities to nothing . just like some people , they've been on concrete for too many generations .  |

I reckon there is some truth to all the comments posted...but I agree with shotgun...feral hogs more than likely have a very diversified gene pool and that in itself will give the feral hogs a stronger immune system...which is exactly the opposite of the registered hogs gene pool... |

The reason I said what I did was the way I figure. The average feral hog has a very active immune system. They are fighting disease or infection just about constantly. I understand this virus may be new and their immune system may have never fought it before but being strong it could possibly fight it better. U take a person that is sheltered. Never allowed to experience any virus or bacteria the common cold could kill them. Another person that has grown up in a less than sanitary environment experiencing all kinds of viral and bacterial infections and fighting them off a common cold isn't much. Production pork is pumped so full of antibiotics and hormones the immune system is hardly ever required to work. In turn making it the boy in the bubble.

shotgun...your logic makes sense I agree as well...I will add this to what your are saying...Like you said these purebred hogs are given meds including vaccines to ensure that all or at least most will survive because it is all about profits when it comes to business...
In the wild the piglets born are culled by mother nature and those that make it to breeding age will become the breeders that pas on their genes and the dominant males are the ones that breed more often...mother nature doesn't make mistakes because God created it that way...
looks like we said the same thing just a little different...

It'll only kill nursing babies if the sow is sick herself at the time. They will always carry it but aren't always sick
