Abstract
The mink enteritis virus (MEV) SD12/01 strain was isolated from a mink showing clinical and pathological signs of enteritis in Shandong, China, in 2012. The genome of MEV SD12/01 was sequenced and analyzed, which will promote a better understanding of the molecular epidemiology and genetic diversity of MEV field isolates in northern China.
Highlights
The mink enteritis virus (MEV) SD12/01 strain was isolated from a mink showing clinical and pathological signs of enteritis in Shandong, China, in 2012
One deletion region was found in strain SD12/01 compared to Abashiri, which was isolated from Japan
There is an insertion region in strain SD12/01 compared to vaccine strain MEVB (China)
Summary
The mink enteritis virus (MEV) SD12/01 strain was isolated from a mink showing clinical and pathological signs of enteritis in Shandong, China, in 2012. Mink enteritis virus (MEV) is a member of the genus Parvovirus and the family Parvoviridae [1]. MEV is a negativeoriented, single-stranded DNA virus that causes hemorrhagic enteritis, especially among newborn and juvenile minks, with high morbidity and mortality [2].
