  • Positive PCR or CIEP samples were detected in 56 of 60 (93.3%) American mink, 43 of 61 (70.5%) short-tailed weasels, 2 of 8 (25.0%) striped skunks, 2 of 11 (18.2%) North American river otters, 9 of 85 (10.6%) raccoons, and 2 of 20 (10.0%) bobcats. (biomedcentral.com)

  • Amdoparvovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Parvoviridae in the subfamily Parvovirinae. (wikipedia.org)
  • The following five species are assigned to the genus: Carnivore amdoparvovirus 1 Carnivore amdoparvovirus 2 Carnivore amdoparvovirus 3 Carnivore amdoparvovirus 4 Carnivore amdoparvovirus 5 Viruses in the genus Amdoparvovirus have non-enveloped protein particles with T=1 icosahedral symmetry. (wikipedia.org)
  • The pathological findings are dominated by lymphoplasmacellular inflammation and reveal similarities to its relative Carnivore amdoparvovirus 1, the causative agent of Aleutian mink disease. (bvsalud.org)
  • Positive CIEP or PCR animals were present in all nine counties from which mink or weasel samples were collected. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This study increases our understanding of the threats posed by the spread of viruses to wildlife from farm animals or humans, highlighting that viruses circulating in wildlife, even in the absence of clinical manifestation, can be important drivers of population dynamics in wildlife.

  • The objectives of this study were to determine the long-term changes in viremia, seroconversion and survival in infected mink. (bvsalud.org)
  • Thirteen of the mink were positive for PCR and CIEP, but three mink and one skunk were CIEP positive and PCR negative. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This negative link between infection and reproductive output means that Aleutian disease could seriously affect the wild mink population. (bvsalud.org)

(2ndchance.info)
  • If not, the safest procedure for a valuable wild canid whose ability to tolerate a modified live virus canine parvovirus vaccine is unknown is to use a killed feline parvovirus ( panleukopenia ) vaccine (such as Merck's Panagen) for the initial vaccination. (2ndchance.info)
