Wild swine and peccaries are popular exhibit animals throughout the world, but the anatomy and behaviour of these species make it difficult to construct housing and enclosures which are suitable from an aesthetic and sanitation standpoint. African wild suids may serve as reservoir hosts for African swine fever. Likewise, African suids are susceptible to most of the viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases of domestic swine. Wild swine and peccaries are not an important source of zoonotic diseases. Despite having similar anatomy, peccaries differ from wild European and African suids in their susceptibility to diseases (e.g. peccaries are not affected by African swine fever.
野猪和西猯是世界各地受欢迎的展览动物，但这些物种的解剖结构和行为使得建造从美学和卫生角度来看都合适的圈舍变得困难。非洲野猪可能是非洲猪瘟的储存宿主。同样，非洲猪科动物易感染家猪的大多数病毒、细菌和寄生虫疾病。野猪和西猯不是人畜共患病的重要来源。尽管解剖结构相似，但西猯在疾病易感性方面与欧洲和非洲野生猪科动物不同（例如，西猯不受非洲猪瘟影响）。
