Indeed, a high specificity (94%) has been recorded in youngwildboar.

An increase in the proportion ofwildboaralleles across the genome increased length versus width of femur and reduced the prevalence of osteochondrosis.

There were big populations of larger mammals such as elk, deer, bears, wolves andwildboar.

The proportion ofwildboaralleles averaged over the genome was then calculated from these probabilities.

Two mechanisms may explain the decrease of incidence in youngwildboarover time.

We hypothesize that the spatial and social structure ofwildboarpopulations may be responsible for this variability of incidence over space.

Moreover, it has been argued that the original density of the population may be quickly re-established as a result of the high fertility ofwildboar.
