Abstract
Indian pig population is rising. Pigs share a common domestic environment with rural and urban population. Pigs pose public health threat by serving as vector, causing bites potential of rabies and road traffic accidents. Not many pig bites have been reported. This study describes the epidemiological profile of pig bites reported at secondary & tertiary health care centres. Regulations governing pig rearing, proper community garbage disposal, closed drain systems and vaccinating pigs against rabies may help to bring down pig borne public health perils.
