Abstract:
Respiratory infections kill millions and overwhelm the healthcare systems worldwide. Swine are powerful allies in this fight. They provide practical, human-like platforms to study pathogens, test vaccines/therapies, and strengthen pandemic readiness. Pig models, with the advent of genetic engineering tools, are closing translational gaps and revealing mechanisms that guide interventions effectively.
