Could mink serve as an immediate host for Influenza A transmission? BioMedCentral mink influenza influenzaA flu pandemic zoonotic transmission hosts immunology news disease viral
By Tarun Sai LomteApr 3 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM A recent study published in the One Health Advances Journal discussed influenza A virus infections in minks, emphasizing their contribution/role as an intermediate host.
Although minks are highly susceptible to IAV infection, outbreaks with severe outcomes are rare. Studies suggest that animal feed containing pork and poultry by-products might be responsible for mink infection with swine/avian IAVs. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 transmission from infected minks to humans was documented in Denmark and the Netherlands. Reassortment and adaptation are suggested as critical for zoonotic influenza viruses in humans. In addition, co-infection with different viruses in animals/humans might result in novel strains with pandemic potential.
Aleutian mink disease virus is notable for its devastating effects on the adult reproductive system and the subsequent impact on fur quality.
