Free-ranging minks exhibit high titers of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Utah

Free-ranging minks exhibit high titers of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Utah Zoonotic diseases have caused outbreaks and epidemics throughout history. The current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is one of the worst pandemics in the world. The coronavirus pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), first emerged in Wuhan City, China. The outbreak was reported in a seafood market, where wildlife trade occurs. One of the virus s potential intermediate hosts is the pangolin, which may have acquired the virus from bats. Apart from pangolins, camels, and civet cats, another possible host of the virus are minks. Researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report outbreaks of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on mink farms in Utah, United States. They surveyed around farms for evidence of exposure and found high SARS-CoV-2 titers, suggesting a possible viral transmission pathway to native wildlife.
