Hi Michael,
I did a quick google search and came up with this list of zoonoses from
pigs. There doesn’t appear to be much out there! Someone who does
xenotransplants might know more (Prince of Wales in Sydney comes to
mind).
Cheers Matt

Does anyone have any sage advice? What if anything should we do as
follow-up of a student exposed to pig tissue??

Thanks
