Statistical analysis of the frequency of chromosomes carrying three types (A, B, and C) of porcine endogenous retroviruses
(PERV) was based on molecular-genetic testing of populations of domestic pigs and wild boars. Domestic pigs were shown to
have higher frequency of PERV and haplotypes containing two and three types of PERV than wild boars.
