Drivers Shaping Spillover of Aleutian Mink Disease Virus Introduced With American Mink Among Native Mustelids. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisInvasive alien species pose a major threat to ecosystems by outcompeting native species for resources, altering habitats, enabling potential genetic hybridisation and introducing pathogens into the environment.

Persistence in diving American mink [PDF]
Animal Biotelemetry, 2015 Background\ud \ud American mink forage on land and in water, with aquatic prey often constituting a large proportion of their diet. Their long, thin body shape and relatively poor insulation make them vulnerable to heat loss, particularly in water, yet some individuals dive over 100 times a day. At the level of individual dives, previous research found

Animals, 2020 The pressure elicited by invasive species on native species significantly increases with the increase of the overlap of their ecological niches. Still, the specific mechanisms of the trophic displacement of native species during the invasion process are ...

Assessment of Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) prevalence in feral American mink in Iceland. Case study of a pending epizootiological concern in Europe [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Recurring escapes or deliberate releases and subsequent infiltration or establishment of feral populations by individuals from fur farms have been commonly noted since the beginning of fur industry expansion.

Diversity and transmission of Aleutian mink disease virus in feral and farmed American mink and native mustelids [PDF]
Virus Evolution, 2021 Abstract Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV), which causes Aleutian disease, is widely spread both in farmed mink and wild mustelids. However, only limited data are available on the role of wild animals in AMDV transmission and spread. Our aim was to shed light on AMDV transmission among wild mustelids and estimate the effect of intense ...

The American Mink Gene Map [PDF]
ILAR Journal, 1998 The American mink (Mustela vison) represents the large family Mustelidae. The family belongs to the order of Carnivora and includes many dozens of species living in a broad range of biotopes, from the Arctic to tropical zones. Carnivores are of great interest in comparative gene mapping in mammals.

Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 passive surveillance in Lithuanian mink farms, 2020–2021
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 The newly emerged SARS-CoV-2, causing COVID-19 in humans, is also infecting American mink (Neovison vison), used in fur production. Since 2020, passive surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in mink farms was implemented in Lithuania.

Context Matters: Multiple Novelty Tests Reveal Different Aspects of Shyness-Boldness in Farmed American Mink (Neovison vison). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Animal personality research is receiving increasing interest from related fields, such as evolutionary personality psychology. By merging the conceptual understanding of personality, the contributions to both fields of research may be enhanced.
