In many rural parts of the developing world, domestic livestock are kept in free-range systems, potentially allowing contact with wild animals. In some parts of Uganda, free-range scavenging by pigs is frequent. At the same time wild species of suidae such as bushpigs (Potamochoerus larvatus), with a wide distribution in Eastern and Southern Africa, live and move at the interface between the national parks and the farmland where there is an opportunity for interaction and sharing of pathogens with domestic relatives. Bushpigs are considered to be possible natural reservoirs for African swine fever virus [7] , but less is known about what other viruses bushpigs might carry. Therefore, to investigate whether bushpigs are carriers of known and or unknown porcine viruses we have in this study investigated the viral flora of bushpig sera.
