A lethal infection in mink, the Aleutian disease virus lies dormant in ferrets until stress or injury allows it to surface. While the parvovirus itself causes little or no harm to the ferret host, the large number of antibodies produced in response to the presence of the virus results in a systemic vasculitis, resulting in eventual renal failure, bone marrow suppression and death.

Mink enteritis virus (MEV) is a strain of Carnivore protoparvovirus 1 [1] that infects mink and causes enteritis. Like all parvoviruses, it is a small (18–26 nm), spherical virus, and has a single-stranded DNA genome. The signs and symptoms of enteritis usually appear within 4–7 days after infection.
In November 2020, in Denmark, the government mandated the slaughter of all the country's 17 million mink due to reports that a mutated SARS-CoV-2 virus was being passed from mink to humans via mink farms, and that at least 12 human infections had been discovered in North Jutland.

Public health experts are warning of a ‘quad-demic’ this winter. Here’s where flu, COVID, RSV, and norovirus are spreading
The human virome in healthy, asymptomatic adults. The viral genera (y-axis) detected in each subject (x-axis) are represented by black bars. The virome of each individual is viewed by looking at the black bars in a given column. [16] Each individual had a distinct viral profile, demonstrating the high interpersonal diversity of the virome.
A fatal virus has been discovered in shrews in Alabama, sparking concerns about potential contagion to humans. The Camp Hill virus was discovered by researchers at The University of Queensland.
In mink, symptoms include increased secretion from apocrine glands. [4] Human astroviruses are associated with gastroenteritis in children and immunocompromised adults. [32] 2–8% of acute non-bacterial gastroenteritis in children is associated with human astrovirus. These viral particles are usually detected in epithelial cells of the ...
