Aleutian Mink Disease
A slow progressive disease of mink caused by the ALEUTIAN MINK DISEASE VIRUS. It is characterized by poor reproduction, weight loss, autoimmunity, hypergammaglobulinemia, increased susceptibility to bacterial infections, and death from renal failure. The disease occurs in all color types, but mink which are homozygous recessive for the Aleutian gene for light coat color are particularly susceptible.

Three-dimensional structure of Aleutian mink disease parvovirus: implications for disease pathogenicity. (1/70)
The three-dimensional structure of expressed VP2 capsids of Aleutian mink disease parvovirus strain G (ADVG-VP2) has been determined to 22 A resolution by cryo-electron microscopy and image reconstruction techniques. A structure-based sequence alignment of the VP2 capsid protein of canine parvovirus (CPV) provided a means to construct an atomic model of the ADVG-VP2 capsid. The ADVG-VP2 reconstruction reveals a capsid structure with a mean external radius of 128 A and several surface features similar to those found in human parvovirus B19 (B19), CPV, feline panleukopenia virus (FPV), and minute virus of mice (MVM). Dimple-like depressions occur at the icosahedral twofold axes, canyon-like regions encircle the fivefold axes, and spike-like protrusions decorate the threefold axes. These spikes are not present in B19, and they are more prominent in ADV compared to the other parvoviruses owing to the presence of loop insertions which create mounds near the threefold axes. Cylindrical channels along the fivefold axes of CPV, FPV, and MVM, which are surrounded by five symmetry-related beta-ribbons, are closed in ADVG-VP2 and B19. Immunoreactive peptides made from segments of the ADVG-VP2 capsid protein map to residues in the mound structures. In vitro tissue tropism and in vivo pathogenic properties of ADV map to residues at the threefold axes and to the wall of the dimples.

Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV) is the etiological agent of Aleutian disease of mink. Several ADV isolates have been identified which vary in the severity of the disease they elicit. The isolate ADV-Utah replicates to high levels in mink, causing severe Aleutian disease that results in death within 6 to 8 weeks, but does not replicate in Crandell feline kidney (CrFK) cells. In contrast, ADV-G replicates in CrFK cells but does not replicate in mink. The ability of the virus to replicate in vivo is determined by virally encoded determinants contained within a defined region of the VP2 gene (M. E. Bloom, J. M. Fox, B. D. Berry, K. L. Oie, and J. B. Wolfinbarger. Virology 251:288-296, 1998). Within this region, ADV-G and ADV-Utah differ at only five amino acid residues. To determine which of these five amino acid residues comprise the in vivo replication determinant, site-directed mutagenesis was performed to individually convert the amino acid residues of ADV-G to those of ADV-Utah. A virus in which the ADV-G VP2 residue at 534, histidine (H), was converted to an aspartic acid (D) of ADV-Utah replicated in CrFK cells as efficiently as ADV-G. H534D also replicated in mink, causing transient viremia at 30 days postinfection and a strong antibody response. Animals infected with this virus developed diffuse hepatocellular microvesicular steatosis, an abnormal accumulation of intracellular fat, but did not develop classical Aleutian disease. Thus, the substitution of an aspartic acid at residue 534 for a histidine allowed replication of ADV-G in mink, but the ability to replicate was not sufficient to cause classical Aleutian disease. (+info)Unusual, high genetic diversity of Aleutian mink disease virus. (3/70)
The genetic diversity of Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) was examined. Sequences obtained from 35 clinical samples were compared with five published sequences. An unusual, high genetic variability was revealed. Three phylogenetic subgroups of AMDV were identified, and the presence of more than one genotype at some farms was detected. (+info)Replication of Aleutian mink disease parvovirus in mink lymph node histocultures. (4/70)
Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV), causes an immune disorder with a persistent infection of lymphoid organs in adult mink. We studied replication of ADV in gel-supported histocultures prepared from adult mink mesenteric lymph node (MLN). Evidence of virus replication in the histocultures was first observed by indirect immunofluorescence 72 h after incubation with virus. Cells resembling lymphocytes and macrophages contained both ADV capsid (VP2) and nonstructural (NS1 and NS2) proteins, and were present in a distribution suggestive of infected cells within germinal centres. ADV replicative form and encapsidated virion DNA were also detected in infected histocultures at time-points after 72 h. In addition, we were able to passage ADV-Utah to a new round of histocultures. These results suggested that the infected cells were actual target cells for ADV replication and that productive ADV-Utah replication, complete with the generation of virus, was occurring in the histocultures. The mink MLN histocultures provide a system to study the replication and molecular pathogenesis of ADV in target tissues. (+info)Nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis associated with Aleutian mink disease parvovirus infection in ranch mink. (5/70)
Severe nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis associated with Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV) infection was observed in adult ranch mink. Brain lesions included severe, locally extensive to coalescing lymphoplasmacytic meningoencephalitis with accompanying gliosis, satellitosis, and mild extension of inflammation into the leptomeninges. ADV was identified in mesenteric lymph node, spleen, brain, and liver of affected mink by polymerase chain reaction techniques. Sequences of the ADV isolate (TH5) revealed 2 unique residues in the region of the viral genome that determines pathogenicity. These findings suggest that certain strains of ADV may preferentially cause disease in the nervous system. ADV infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neurologic disorders in mink. (+info)Spontaneous Aleutian disease in a ferret. (6/70)
A 3-year-old female ferret died five days after admission to a veterinary clinic for treatment of acute dyspnea and posterior paresis. Blood chemistry showed no hypergammaglobulinemia. Histopathological examination revealed mild to severe inflammatory infiltrates, composed mostly of plasma cells, in multiple organs. Lesions were especially severe in the kidneys, where focal segmental membranous glomerulopathy was also present. In the liver, in addition to lymphocytic and plasmacytic infiltration in periportal areas, dilatation and proliferation of the bile ducts were seen. On analysis of PCR products, using primers directed against the gene encoding Aleutian disease (AD) viral capsid and formalin-fixed kidney samples, we detected a single band of about 400 bp, specific to the AD virus. (+info)Poly IC therapy in aleutian disease of mink. (7/70)
Twenty-four virgin female aleutian mink were infected with aleutian disease agent and after 24 hours, 12 of these were treated with a course of polyinosinic acid-polycytidilic acid (Poly IC) injections. After six weeks the gammaglobulin level was significantly lower in the treated group but at 12 weeks this difference was no longer present. Four of the treated mink had normal target organ histology when killed at 20 weeks. The untreated group all showed moderate to marked changes but this difference was not statistically significant. There was a marked increase in the reactive lymphocyte blastogenesis index during the first weeks of infection and the phytohaemagglutinin response was seen to fall progressively. The antiglobulin reaction usually became positive after infection but neither antinuclear nor antierythrocyte antibodies were found. Precipitating antibodies to several polynucleotides were frequently present and were unrelated to infection or to Poly IC treatment. (+info)Deposition of IgA in renal glomeruli of mink affected with Aleutian disease. (8/70)
The glomerular deposition of immunoglobulin (Ig) was studied in sapphire mink affected with terminal Aleutian disease (AD). Fluorescein conjugated Ig-class specific antiserums were used to evaluate and identify the glomerular Ig. Kidneys of all 28 mink with documented AD had deposits of IgA and beta 1 C in a capillary and mesangial distribution. Only 7 of 28 mink had demonstrable glomerular IgG and/or IgM. In addition, interstitial plasma cell infiltrates in 17 of 19 kidneys stained exclusively with anti-IgA. All antiserums used in this study were evaluated for Ig-class specificity by both gel diffusion and agarose-bead techniques. The striking Ig class restriction demonstrated for glomerular Ig deposition in AD is discussed in light of current knowledge of the pathogenesis of AD glomerulopathy. (+info)Aleutian Mink Disease (AMD) is a parvoviral infection primarily affecting minks, characterized by degeneration and inflammation of various organs, particularly the liver and kidneys, often resulting in wasting and death, and also seen in foxes and other mustelids.
Aleutian Mink Disease (AMD) is a viral disease that primarily affects minks, particularly those of the Aleutian subspecies. The disease is caused by the parvovirus known as the Aleutian mink disease virus (ADMV).
The virus targets and infects the immune system's white blood cells, leading to a hyperactive immune response. This results in the production of excessive amounts of antibodies, a condition known as "autoimmune disease." The continued stimulation of the immune system can lead to damage and failure of various organs, including the liver and kidneys.
Clinical signs of AMD can vary widely but often include weight loss, anemia, jaundice, and neurological symptoms such as uncoordinated movements and tremors. The disease can be spread through direct contact with infected animals or their bodily fluids, as well as through contaminated equipment or surfaces.
It's worth noting that while the Aleutian Mink Disease primarily affects minks, there have been reports of related parvoviruses infecting other animal species, including humans. However, these viruses are not considered to be a significant public health concern at this time.
Aleutian Mink Disease Virus (AMDV) is an autonomous parvirus primarily infecting minks, causing a persistent and often fatal disease characterized by hypergammaglobulinemia and degenerative changes in multiple organs.
Aleutian Mink Disease Virus (AMDV) is a small, single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus belonging to the family Parvoviridae and genus Amdoparvovirus. This virus primarily infects minks, causing a chronic wasting disease known as Aleutian Disease. The name of the virus comes from the Aleutian Islands of Alaska where the disease was first identified in mink farms during the 1940s.
The virus is highly host-specific and does not typically infect humans or other animals, except for some cases in wild and farmed foxes, raccoons, and dogs. The infection in these animals may lead to similar symptoms as observed in minks, such as weight loss, anemia, and immune suppression.
AMDV has a strong affinity for infecting cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage, leading to chronic inflammation and immune complex deposition in various organs, including the kidneys, spleen, and liver. The infection can result in a spectrum of clinical signs, from subclinical to severe and fatal disease, depending on factors such as the age, genetics, and immune status of the host.
Diagnosis of AMDV infection is usually accomplished through serological tests, such as ELISA or hemagglutination inhibition assays, which detect antibodies against the virus in infected animals. Additionally, molecular techniques like PCR can be used to directly amplify and detect viral DNA in clinical samples.
There are no specific treatments for AMDV infection, and control measures primarily focus on preventing the spread of the virus through biosecurity practices, such as maintaining strict sanitation, quarantine procedures, and vaccination programs for susceptible animals.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Mink" is not a medical term to the best of my knowledge and searching through various medical dictionaries and resources did not provide a medical definition for it. Mink is a type of small, carnivorous mammal that belongs to the family Mustelidae, which also includes otters, weasels, and ferrets. They are known for their thick, luxurious fur, which has been used in the fashion industry for coats and other clothing items.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Mink" is not a medical term. It refers to a species of small, semiaquatic carnivorous mammals that are known for their sleek fur. They belong to the family Mustelidae, which also includes otters, weasels, and ferrets. If you have any questions about medical terminology or health-related topics, I'd be happy to help!
Parvoviridae is a family of small, non-enveloped DNA viruses that primarily infect mammals and birds, with some members causing significant diseases in animals, such as canine parvovirus infection in dogs and porcine parvovirus infection in pigs.
Parvoviridae is a family of small, non-enveloped viruses that infect a wide range of hosts, including humans, animals, and birds. These viruses have a single-stranded DNA genome and replicate in the nucleus of infected cells. They are resistant to heat, acid, and organic solvents, making them difficult to inactivate.
The family Parvoviridae is divided into two subfamilies: Parvovirinae and Densovirinae. Parvovirinae infect vertebrates, while Densovirinae infect invertebrates. The subfamily Parvovirinae includes several genera that infect various hosts, such as humans, dogs, cats, and primates.
Parvovirus B19 is a well-known member of this family that causes a variety of clinical manifestations in humans, including fifth disease (slapped cheek syndrome), arthralgia, and occasionally more severe diseases in immunocompromised individuals or those with certain hematological disorders.
In animals, parvoviruses can cause serious diseases such as canine parvovirus infection in dogs and feline panleukopenia in cats, which can be fatal if left untreated.
Parvovirus is a small, non-enveloped DNA virus belonging to the Parvoviridae family, primarily causing disease in animals and rarely in humans, with B19 being the most common type affecting humans, often leading to fifth disease or erythema infectiosum in children.
Parvovirus is a type of virus that is known to cause diseases in various animals, including dogs and humans. The most common strain that infects humans is called Parvovirus B19. This particular strain is responsible for the illness known as Fifth disease, which primarily affects young children and causes symptoms such as fever, rash, and joint pain.
Parvovirus B19 spreads through respiratory droplets, such as when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also be transmitted through blood or contaminated objects. Once the virus enters the body, it typically targets and infects rapidly dividing cells, particularly those found in the bone marrow and the fetal heart.
In dogs, a different strain of parvovirus called Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is responsible for a highly contagious and often fatal gastrointestinal illness. CPV primarily affects puppies between 6 weeks and 6 months old, but older dogs can also be infected if they haven't been vaccinated.
It is essential to maintain good hygiene practices and ensure proper vaccination to prevent parvovirus infections in both humans and animals.
'CATS' is an abbreviation for Computerized Axial Tomography Scan, a non-invasive diagnostic imaging technique that uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body, helping medical professionals evaluate various conditions and structures within.
"Cat" is a common name that refers to various species of small carnivorous mammals that belong to the family Felidae. The domestic cat, also known as Felis catus or Felis silvestris catus, is a popular pet and companion animal. It is a subspecies of the wildcat, which is found in Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Domestic cats are often kept as pets because of their companionship, playful behavior, and ability to hunt vermin. They are also valued for their ability to provide emotional support and therapy to people. Cats are obligate carnivores, which means that they require a diet that consists mainly of meat to meet their nutritional needs.
Cats are known for their agility, sharp senses, and predatory instincts. They have retractable claws, which they use for hunting and self-defense. Cats also have a keen sense of smell, hearing, and vision, which allow them to detect prey and navigate their environment.
In medical terms, cats can be hosts to various parasites and diseases that can affect humans and other animals. Some common feline diseases include rabies, feline leukemia virus (FeLV), feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), and toxoplasmosis. It is important for cat owners to keep their pets healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations and preventative treatments to protect both the cats and their human companions.
Capsid proteins are structural proteins that self-assemble to form the protective shell or capsid surrounding the genome of a virus.
Capsid proteins are the structural proteins that make up the capsid, which is the protective shell of a virus. The capsid encloses the viral genome and helps to protect it from degradation and detection by the host's immune system. Capsid proteins are typically arranged in a symmetrical pattern and can self-assemble into the capsid structure when exposed to the viral genome.
The specific arrangement and composition of capsid proteins vary between different types of viruses, and they play important roles in the virus's life cycle, including recognition and binding to host cells, entry into the cell, and release of the viral genome into the host cytoplasm. Capsid proteins can also serve as targets for antiviral therapies and vaccines.
A capsid is the protein shell that encloses and protects the genetic material of a virus during its external existence.
A capsid is the protein shell that encloses and protects the genetic material of a virus. It is composed of multiple copies of one or more proteins that are arranged in a specific structure, which can vary in shape and symmetry depending on the type of virus. The capsid plays a crucial role in the viral life cycle, including protecting the viral genome from host cell defenses, mediating attachment to and entry into host cells, and assisting with the assembly of new virus particles during replication.
'DNA virus' is a type of virus that has DNA as its genetic material and replicates using the host cell's DNA polymerase.
Viral DNA refers to the genetic material present in viruses that consist of DNA as their core component. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is one of the two types of nucleic acids that are responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information in living organisms. Viruses are infectious agents much smaller than bacteria that can only replicate inside the cells of other organisms, called hosts.
Viral DNA can be double-stranded (dsDNA) or single-stranded (ssDNA), depending on the type of virus. Double-stranded DNA viruses have a genome made up of two complementary strands of DNA, while single-stranded DNA viruses contain only one strand of DNA.
Examples of dsDNA viruses include Adenoviruses, Herpesviruses, and Poxviruses, while ssDNA viruses include Parvoviruses and Circoviruses. Viral DNA plays a crucial role in the replication cycle of the virus, encoding for various proteins necessary for its multiplication and survival within the host cell.
"Virus replication is the process by which a virus produces multiple copies of itself within a host cell, often involving the transcription and translation of viral genetic material into new viral components followed by their assembly and release from the host cell."
Virus replication is the process by which a virus produces copies or reproduces itself inside a host cell. This involves several steps:
1. Attachment: The virus attaches to a specific receptor on the surface of the host cell.
2. Penetration: The viral genetic material enters the host cell, either by invagination of the cell membrane or endocytosis.
3. Uncoating: The viral genetic material is released from its protective coat (capsid) inside the host cell.
4. Replication: The viral genetic material uses the host cell's machinery to produce new viral components, such as proteins and nucleic acids.
5. Assembly: The newly synthesized viral components are assembled into new virus particles.
6. Release: The newly formed viruses are released from the host cell, often through lysis (breaking) of the cell membrane or by budding off the cell membrane.
The specific mechanisms and details of virus replication can vary depending on the type of virus. Some viruses, such as DNA viruses, use the host cell's DNA polymerase to replicate their genetic material, while others, such as RNA viruses, use their own RNA-dependent RNA polymerase or reverse transcriptase enzymes. Understanding the process of virus replication is important for developing antiviral therapies and vaccines.
'Molecular sequence data' refers to the specific arrangement of molecules, such as nucleotides in DNA or amino acids in proteins, that are represented in a linear fashion and used to identify, compare, and analyze biological characteristics or relationships among organisms at the molecular level.
Molecular sequence data refers to the specific arrangement of molecules, most commonly nucleotides in DNA or RNA, or amino acids in proteins, that make up a biological macromolecule. This data is generated through laboratory techniques such as sequencing, and provides information about the exact order of the constituent molecules. This data is crucial in various fields of biology, including genetics, evolution, and molecular biology, allowing for comparisons between different organisms, identification of genetic variations, and studies of gene function and regulation.
A cell line is a homogeneous population of cells, all originating from a single cell, which has the ability to grow and divide indefinitely under specific culturing conditions, often used in scientific research for consistency and reproducibility.
A cell line is a culture of cells that are grown in a laboratory for use in research. These cells are usually taken from a single cell or group of cells, and they are able to divide and grow continuously in the lab. Cell lines can come from many different sources, including animals, plants, and humans. They are often used in scientific research to study cellular processes, disease mechanisms, and to test new drugs or treatments. Some common types of human cell lines include HeLa cells (which come from a cancer patient named Henrietta Lacks), HEK293 cells (which come from embryonic kidney cells), and HUVEC cells (which come from umbilical vein endothelial cells). It is important to note that cell lines are not the same as primary cells, which are cells that are taken directly from a living organism and have not been grown in the lab.

- Traditional objectives of investigations of infectious disease outbreaks are to identify ways to control ongoing outbreaks and to prevent future outbreaks. (blogspot.com)
Humans1
- Of the 2 billion humans worldwide infected with TB, fewer than 10% will develop active disease. (vin.com)
Populations2
- Many endemic viruses circulate in populations without hosts showing visible signs of disease, while still having the potential to alter host survival or reproduction. (bvsalud.org)
- The American minks of the Pleistocene did not differ much in size or morphology from modern populations, though a slight trend toward increased size is apparent from the Irvingtonian through to the Illinoian and Wisconsinan periods. (en-academic.com)
Coat2
- It was assumed that the disease was a result of poor genetics, but it was later found that minks of all coat colors were susceptible to the disease-but tend to have a lower mortality compared with Aleutian mink. (wikipedia.org)
- Wild minks are typically black in color and have a silky coat. (petsguide.info)
Strains1
- There are different strains of this disease which have been documented. (wikipedia.org)
Captivity2
- Enhancing the pen environments of mink with shelves and various manipulable resources may help to reduce stress and boredom associated with captivity. (msdvetmanual.com)
- The American mink has been recorded to hybridize with European minks and polecats in captivity, though the hybrid embryos of the American and European minks are usually reabsorbed. (en-academic.com)
Antibody1
- the CEP tests used to screen mink and an Immunofluorescent Antibody test that [is] more sensitive. (weaselwords.com)
Severe1
- This is a severe febrile disease but does not generally result in death. (blogspot.com)
Tissue2
- In the 1960s, it was common practice for mink ranchers to make their own distemper vaccines by homogenizing tissue from distemper-infected mink, making suspensions, and injecting all the mink on their ranch. (wikipedia.org)
- Through application of the biotin-streptavidine immunohistochemical method, the presence of the hepatocyte growth factor, as well as the basal membrane components was established in the mink liver tissue, but liver apoptosis was determined by TUNEL. (utlib.ee)
Occurs4
- transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance and a similar disorder occurs in the beige mouse, the Aleutian mink, and albino Hereford cattle. (medindex.am)
- Dermatophytosis ( ringworm ) occurs sporadically in mink as patchy alopecia with crusting. (msdvetmanual.com)
- The disease, which is characterized by hypocalcemia, occurs at or shortly after parturition in cows and within weeks before or after parturition in ewes. (uchicago.edu)
- DEATH usually occurs 1-3 years after disease onset. (rush.edu)
Pelt1
- Lesions can also be found within the pelt depending on the severity of the disease. (wikipedia.org)
Alveolar cells1
- Likewise, in the mink kits that survive, it infects the alveolar cells and ultimately causes respiratory distress, possibly leading to death. (wikipedia.org)
Mammals3
- its diverse members cause disease in dogs, cats, swine and wild mammals such as raccoons and coyotes. (weaselwords.com)
- This stable population of marine mammals resides relatively close to shore near a large human population and offers a novel opportunity to evaluate whether disease acts in a density-dependent manner to limit population growth. (eopugetsound.org)
- In his 2003 monograph on the introduced mammals of the world, John Long recounts at least 46 translocations in the Aleutian Islands, mostly in the 1900s, and to the Canadian islands of Baffin, Cornwallis and Ellesmere at some point around 1918. (me.uk)
Clinical1
- In fact, a positive reactor on these tests may never develop clinical disease. (weaselwords.com)
20192
- An article published in the Journal of Wildlife Diseases in 2021 describes trends in birth defects among harbor seals in the Salish Sea from 2003 to 2019. (eopugetsound.org)
- A 2019 article in the Journal of Wildlife Diseases looked at trace element concentrations of heavy metals in the livers of harbor seals that died and stranded in the San Juan Islands. (eopugetsound.org)
Tail2
- Hair loss beginning at the END of the tail, however, is probably NOT adrenal disease. (ferretsnorth.org)
- In this article, we'll discuss the differences between European and American minks, compare their tail lengths, and look at some of their health concerns. (petsguide.info)
Mammal1
- When Bloom was studying Aleutian mink disease virus, he tried mink cells, plus every other mammal line he could purchase. (the-scientist.com)
Females1
- This virus can unfortunately reduce fitness of wild mink especially, by disturbing both the productivity within adult females and the overall survivor rates of both juveniles and adults. (wikipedia.org)
20202
- Disease surveillance in England and Wales, October 2020. (cabi.org)
- A 2020 paper published in Frontiers in Marine Science describes details of the fungal disease Mucormycosis which has caused the death of harbor porpoises, harbor seals and one orca in Puget Sound in recent years. (eopugetsound.org)
American3
- 2023. A microbial tale of farming, invasion and conservation: on the gut bacteria of Europ ean and American mink in Western Europe. (appliedevoeco.org)
- In its introduced range in Europe, the American mink has been linked to declines in European mink and water vole . (en-academic.com)
- Although superficially similar to the European mink, studies indicate that the American mink's closest relative is the kolonok of Asia. (en-academic.com)
Animals4
- Domestic animals, such as cats, are common carriers of ringworm and should not be permitted to enter mink sheds. (msdvetmanual.com)
- When searching for food, the mink can take down larger prey animals than the ferret, just as it can when hunting for food. (petsguide.info)
- Of these, only two animals developed disease signs compatible with AD. (weaselwords.com)
- Mink owners cull their animals, but these are livestock to them. (weaselwords.com)
Wild3
- It is speculated that the disease has been transferred from farmed mink to those in the wild. (wikipedia.org)
- Disease surveillance of enclosed and wild deer in Great Britain. (cabi.org)
- A major distinction between the two is that the Ferret makes an excellent pet, whereas the Mink is too wild to be kept as a pet in a residential setting and must be kept in a wildlife sanctuary or other particular environment. (petsguide.info)
