Abstract
Mink enteritis virus (MEV) is a major pathogen inducing acute hemorrhagic enteritis in mink. This study aims to determine the pathogenicity of the isolated MEV strain (SMPV-11) compared with the attenuated MEV strain (MEV-F61) in the mink. The two MEV strains were inoculated in the two mink groups, respectively. Then the clinical symptom, hematological, serological, and histopathological change were evaluated. Our findings showed that there were differences in the clinical features and pathological changes of the SMPV-11 and MEV-F61 in the mink. It indicates that SMPV-11 is a virulent strain, and it can be the potential MEV vaccine strain in the mink.
