The possible impact of escaped captive American mink (Neogale vison) on the population of feral mink in Denmark. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2023
The Danish feral mink (Neogale vison) population can be divided into wild-born and captive-born mink newly escaped from a farm. The impact of the captive-born mink on the population of feral population is unknown. Captive-born mink has lately been estimated to make up 25–30% of the feral mink population.

High Genetic Diversity of an Invasive Alien Species: Comparison between Fur-Farmed and Feral American Mink (Neovison vison) in China

Animals, 2021
Genetic characteristics play an important role in alien species for achieving high adaptation and rapid evolution in a new environment. The American mink (Neovison vison) is one of the best-known and most widespread invasive species that has successfully

Seroprevalence and Molecular Epidemiology of Aleutian Disease in Various Countries during 1972–2021: A Review and Meta-Analysis

Animals, 2021
Aleutian disease (AD) poses a serious threat to both free-ranging and farmed mink around the world. The disease is caused by the Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV), which also poses a health risk for other members of the family Mustelidae, including wild

Digestive tract nematode infections in non-native invasive American mink with the first molecular identification of Molineus patens

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021
Parasites may negatively affect hosts condition, especially when infection intensity is high. Species introduced to a new habitat are often less exposed to a parasite pressure but may accumulate parasites in time.

Serum Analytes of American Mink (Neovison Vison) Challenged with Aleutian Mink Disease Virus. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2022
Black American mink (Neovison vison), which had been selected for tolerance to Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) for more than 20 years (TG100) or were from herds that have been free of AMDV (TG0), along with their progeny and crosses with 50% and 75% tolerance ancestry, were inoculated with a local isolate of AMDV.

Aleutian mink disease: Spatio‐temporal variation of prevalence and influence on the feral American mink [PDF]

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2020
Pathogens are one of the factors driving wildlife population dynamics. The spread of pathogens in wildlife is currently highly related to the transmission of pathogens from farmed animals, which has increased with the constant development of farming. Here, we analysed the spatio-temporal variation in the prevalence of Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV)

VASCULARIZATION OF THE HEART IN THE AMERICAN MINK

Scientific Notes Kazan Bauman State Academy of Veterinary Medicine, 2021
The heart of the American mink is oval in shape, it receives blood supply from the coronal right (d=2 mm) and left arteries (d=1 mm) coming from the ascending part of the aortic arch. The cranial border of the heart is located at the level of 6-7 ribs, and its tip is directed to the left, lies in the region of 8-10 intercostal space.

Experimental Infection of Mink with SARS-COV-2 Omicron Variant and Subsequent Clinical Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
We report an experimental infection of American mink with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant and show that mink remain positive for viral RNA for days, experience clinical signs and histopathologic changes, and transmit the virus to uninfected recipients ...
