The main clinical signs of Aleutian disease in ferrets are gradual weight loss and neurological disorders. Other reported symptoms are related to the formation of immune complexes in organs. Transmission of the virus from ferret to ferret occurs mainly via aerosols, urine, saliva or faeces. The...

Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) is the causative agent of Aleutian disease (AD), which affects mink of all genotypes and also infects other mustelids such as ferrets, martens and badgers. Previous studies have investigated diversity in Finnish AMDV strains, but these studies have been restricted ...

Aleutian diseases (AD) - a chronic and fatal disease mainly of minks is a valid economic problem on ferret farms. Low productive effects in infected animals are the results of low fertility, frequent abortions and a high deaths rate of newborns in their first days of life, and also a large number...

Aleutian disease virus (ADV, Amdovirus, Parvoviridae) primarily infects farmed mustelids (mink and ferrets) but also other fur-bearing animals and humans. Three Aleutian disease (AD) cases have been described in captive striped skunks; however, little is known about the relevance of AD in...

Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) causes plasmacytosis, an immune complex-associated syndrome that affects wild and farmed mink. The virus can also infect other small mammals (e.g., ferrets, skunks, ermines, and raccoons), but the disease in these hosts has been studied less. In 2007, a mink...

Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) can cause severe immune-complex-mediated disease in American mink. AMDV has also been detected in several other mustelid species with potential negative impact on their health and population. A molecular and cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted to...
