In North America, a mink-human spillover event in Michigan, resulting in four human infections that were largely kept from public view upon their discovery late 2020, and only announced by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in March 2021, was deemed ancestral to the Ontario WTD clade spillover event from white-tailed deer nearly a year ...
A lethal infection in mink, the Aleutian disease virus lies dormant in ferrets until stress or injury allows it to surface.

Among the 33 invasive species and diseases on the Michigan's watchlist, 18 have been detected in Michigan: balsam woolly adelgid, beech leaf disease, hydrilla, spotted lanternfly, ...
The ancestral mink–human spillover event in Michigan also showed evidence of animal-to-human transmission, resulting in four human infections that were largely kept from public view upon their discovery late 2020, and only announced by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) several months later, in March 2021.
Transmissible mink encephalopathy was first noticed in 1947 on a mink farm in the United States, in Brown County, Wisconsin, but the disease was not reported in the scientific literature until 1965. Upon reviewing prior TME outbreaks in the U.S. and Canada, in all four cases which were not linked to a commercial feed plant and in which records ...
