Abstract

Potential transmission of zoonotic porcine viruses is a major safety issue in xenotransplantation. This review will first summarize recent studies involving transmission and control of the major concern, porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV). Second, the potential for zoonotic transfer and safety measures required against other viruses of concern will be discussed.
