High densities and gregarious behavior increase the prospect of illness transmission. Many wild boar populations have overlapping ranges with business swine operations, which increases the danger for transmission among these groups. Within the Suidae, the Togian Island babirusa, pygmy hog, Visayan warty pig, and the Javan warty pig are listed as endangered or critically endangered. Within the Tayassuidae, only the Chacoan peccary is endangered. For all suids, looking, habitat loss, and hybridization are important threats to conservation.
