Association between mink coronavirus (MCoV), Campylobacter spp., and diarrhea in farmed mink (Neogale vison).

ABSTRACT: Diarrhea outbreaks significantly affect the health and growth of farmed mink, posing economic and welfare challenges. While various pathogens have been linked to mink diarrhea, the causes during the weaning period remain unclear. Sporadic associations of mink coronavirus (MCoV), Campylobacter, and gastrointestinal disease in mink have been suggested. This study investigates the occurrence and levels of MCoV and Campylobacter in fecal samples from Danish farm mink (Neogale vison) and their potential association with post-weaning anorexia diarrhea syndrome (PADS), growth-period diarrhea (GPD), or pre-weaning diarrhea (PWD). The focus of the study is on PADS, studied through two case-control setups where case farms had known problems with PADS and control farms without such problems. Animals
