Mink farms predict Aleutian disease exposure in wild American mink.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundInfectious diseases can often be of conservation importance for wildlife. Spillover, when infectious disease is transmitted from a reservoir population to sympatric wildlife, is a particular threat.

Mink SARS-CoV-2 infection in Poland – short communication

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2021
Since April 2020, when the first SARS-CoV-2 infection was reported in mink and subsequently in mink farm workers in the Netherlands, it has been confirmed that human-to-mink and mink-to-human transmission can occur.

Dose response of black American mink to Aleutian mink disease virus

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, 2020
Introduction Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) causes a serious health problem for mink globally. The disease has no cure nor an effective vaccine and selection for tolerance using antibody titer is adopted by many mink farmers.

Hands off the Mink! Using Environmental Sampling for SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance in American Mink. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2023
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous non-human species were shown to be susceptible to natural infection by SARS-CoV-2, including farmed American mink. Once infected, American mink can transfer the virus from mink to human and mink to mink, resulting in a high rate of viral mutation.

Detection of selection signatures for response to Aleutian mink disease virus infection in American mink [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Aleutian disease (AD) is the most significant health issue for farmed American mink. The objective of this study was to identify the genomic regions subjected to selection for response to infection with Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) in American mink

Identification of consensus homozygous regions and their associations with growth and feed efficiency traits in American mink [PDF]

BMC Genomic Data
The recent chromosome-based genome assembly and the newly developed 70K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array for American mink (Neogale vison) facilitate the identification of genetic variants underlying complex traits in this species.

The Mechanisms of Fur Development and Color Formation in American Mink Revealed Using Comparative Transcriptomics [PDF]

Animals, 2022
American mink fur is an important economic product, but the molecular mechanisms underlying its color formation and fur development remain unclear. We used RNA-seq to analyze the skin transcriptomes of young and adult mink with two different hair colors.

Comparing the effectiveness of environmental DNA and camera traps for surveying American mink (Neogale vison) in northeastern Indiana. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
While camera traps can effectively detect semi-aquatic mammal species, they are also often temporally and monetarily inefficient and have a difficult time detecting smaller bodied, elusive mammals.

Detection of Aelurostrongylus spp. Infection in the Neozoan American Mink (Neogale vison) in Southern Chile [PDF]

Pathogens
Background: The American mink (Neogale vison) is an invasive mustelid in Chile that serves as a natural reservoir host for several pathogens. Cardiorespiratory nematodes of the superfamily Metastrongyloidea, including Aelurostrongylus spp., have been ...

Rapid expansion of the American mink poses a serious threat to the European mink in Spain

Mammalia, 2018
AbstractThe American mink (Neovison vison) was introduced in Europe for fur farming in the 1920s and feral populations were formed due to escapes or intentional releases to the wild thereafter. Nowadays, the species is widely distributed across much of the continent, and is considered the main cause of extinction of the European mink (Mustela lutreola).
