In many rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar, domestic pigs (DPs, Sus scrofa domesticus) can coexist in sympatry, with species of the genus Potamochoerus spp. (P. larvatus or P. porcus). Reports of hybridization between domestic pigs and these two wild suid species are common in these areas. However, the existence and level of genetic introgression of those hybrids has never been sufficiently...
