Immunodominant antibodies against hemagglutinin in ferrets following infection with 2018 to 2019 influenza vaccine strains [PDF]

npj Vaccines
Global influenza surveillance depends on antigenic characterization of viral isolates through hemagglutination inhibition and microneutralization assays using sera from panels of ferrets, each infected with a single vaccine virus. However, recent studies

Ferret Cardiology

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2022
Cardiac disease is relatively common in middle-aged to older ferrets and may comprise acquired or congenital disorders leading to problems with conduction, contractility, or outflow. Clinical signs are often seen in advanced stages of the disease, with lethargy, hind limb weakness, ascites, hepatosplenomegaly, and respiratory distress owing to pleural ...

Isolation of ferret astrocytes reveals their morphological, transcriptional, and functional differences from mouse astrocytes

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022
Astrocytes play key roles in supporting the central nervous system structure, regulating synaptic functions, and maintaining brain homeostasis. The number of astrocytes in the cerebrum has markedly increased through evolution.

Establishment of an induced pluripotent stem cell line from a female domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) with an X chromosome instability

Stem Cell Research, 2021
The domestic ferret (ferret; Mustela putorius furo) is an important animal model for neuroscience and preclinical/veterinary medicine owing to its highly developed cerebral cortex and susceptibility to avian influenza and corona viruses.

Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from Human to Domestic Ferret

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
We report a case of natural infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 transmitted from an owner to a pet ferret in the same household in Slovenia. The ferret had onset of gastroenteritis with severe dehydration.

Sequencing B cell receptors from ferrets (Mustela putorius furo).

PLoS ONE, 2020
The domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) provides a critical animal model to study human respiratory diseases. However immunological insights are restricted due to a lack of ferret-specific reagents and limited genetic information about ferret B and T
