He once had pseudorabies but has recovered.
Reason: Aujeszky’s (pseudorabies) can cause neurologic signs including facial paralysis or asymmetry that may leave a crooked snout appearance in survivors. The other choices are unlikely — congenital deformity from maternal infection is rare with pseudorabies, classical swine fever doesn’t typically produce a crooked snout, and swine pox doesn’t “alter genes.”
