Aleutian Mink Disease
Aleutian Disease of Mink | Disease, Aleutian Mink | Mink Disease, Aleutian
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. |

Aleutian Mink Disease Virus
Aleutian Disease Virus | Aleutian Mink Disease Parvovirus
A species of PARVOVIRUS that causes a disease in mink, mainly those homozygous for the recessive Aleutian gene which determines a desirable coat color. |

Mink
American Mink | European Mink | Mustela lutreola | Mustela macrodon | Mustela vison | Sea Mink | Mink, American | Mink, European | Mink, Sea | Minks | Minks, Sea | Sea Minks
Carnivores of genus Mustela of the family Mustelidae. Although widely trapped for commercial purposes, the fur of the European mink is not as valuable as that of the American mink. At present it is found only in the Soviet Union, Finland, eastern Poland, parts of the Balkans, western France, and northern Spain. The American mink, raised mostly commercially, has been introduced into the Soviet Union, and escaped animals have established populations in Iceland, Ireland, Great Britain, Scandinavia, and Germany.

Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
Chediak Higashi Syndrome | Syndrome, Chediak-Higashi
A form of phagocyte bactericidal dysfunction characterized by unusual oculocutaneous albinism, high incidence of lymphoreticular neoplasms, and recurrent pyogenic infections. In many cell types, abnormal lysosomes are present leading to defective pigment distribution and abnormal neutrophil functions. The disease is transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance and a similar disorder occurs in the beige mouse, the Aleutian mink, and albino Hereford cattle. |

Parvovirus
Infectious Enteritis Virus of Mink | Kilham rat virus | Latent Rat Virus | Mink enteritis virus | Parvovirus, Raccoon | Raccoon parvovirus | Rat virus | Latent Rat Viruses | Mink enteritis viruses | Parvoviruses | Parvoviruses, Raccoon | Rat viruses
A genus of the family PARVOVIRIDAE, subfamily PARVOVIRINAE, infecting a variety of vertebrates including humans. Parvoviruses are responsible for a number of important diseases but also can be non-pathogenic in certain hosts. The type species is MICE MINUTE VIRUS. |

Mink Cell Focus-Inducing Viruses
MCF Viruses | MCF Virus | Mink Cell Focus Inducing Viruses | Virus, MCF | Viruses, MCF
Strains of Murine leukemia virus (LEUKEMIA VIRUS, MURINE) discovered in 1976 by Hartley, Wolford, Old, and Rowe and so named because the viruses originally isolated had the capacity to transform cell foci in mink cell cultures. MCF viruses are generated in a multi-step process by recombination with other viral types including AKR, Friend, Moloney, and Rauscher. |

Prions
Mink Encephalopathy Virus | PrP Proteins | Prion Proteins | Encephalopathy Virus, Mink
Small proteinaceous infectious particles which resist inactivation by procedures that modify NUCLEIC ACIDS and contain an abnormal isoform of a cellular protein which is a major and necessary component. The abnormal (scrapie) isoform is PrPSc (PRPSC PROTEINS) and the cellular isoform PrPC (PRPC PROTEINS). The primary amino acid sequence of the two isoforms is identical. Human diseases caused by prions include CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB SYNDROME; GERSTMANN-STRAUSSLER SYNDROME; and INSOMNIA, FATAL FAMILIAL. |

Feline Panleukopenia
Agranulocytosis, Feline | Ataxia, Feline | Cat Plague | Distemper, Feline | Enteritis, Infectious, of Mink | Feline Ataxia | Feline Infectious Enteritis | Panleukopenia, Feline | Show Fever | Agranulocytoses, Feline | Ataxias, Feline | Cat Plagues
A highly contagious DNA virus infection of the cat family and of mink, characterized by fever, enteritis and bone marrow changes. It is also called feline ataxia, feline agranulocytosis, feline infectious enteritis, cat fever, cat plague, show fever. |
|
Steatitis
Steatitides
A disease of cats and mink characterized by a marked inflammation of adipose tissue and the deposition of "ceroid" pigment in the interstices of the adipose cells. It is believed to be caused by feeding diets containing too much unsaturated fatty acid and too little vitamin E. (Merck Veterinary Manual, 5th ed; Stedman, 25th ed) |

Herpesvirus 1, Suid
Aujeszky' | s Disease Virus | Pseudorabies virus | Suid herpesvirus 1 | Swine Herpesvirus 1 | Aujeszky Disease Virus | Herpesvirus 1 (alpha), Suid | Herpesvirus Suis | Aujeszkys Disease Virus | Herpesvirus 1, Swine | Pseudorabies viruses
A species of VARICELLOVIRUS producing a respiratory infection (PSEUDORABIES) in swine, its natural host. It also produces an usually fatal ENCEPHALOMYELITIS in cattle, sheep, dogs, cats, foxes, and mink. |
