Medical schools use pigs for surgery training because the similarity to humans is remarkable.

I know they use pig valves for human heart valve replacement sometimes.

Influenza, TB, staph infections, anthrax, I think strep.
There’s a lot we can carry they can, versus little you can pick up from cows or dogs.
And the Chinese close proximity to both birds and pigs with people is why they are the start of nearly all influenza pandemics - ready zoonosis between three species.

Pigs... trichinosis?

Trichinosis is a roundworm parasite. I found two: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Kuru disease associated with canabilism but they seem to be like mad cow disease, and some of them are genetically transmitted and don’t require an active infection present.

So stay away from pig brains?

I don’t know maybe I’m just grasping at straws.
