(A) Detection of mink astrovirus in Danish and Swedish mink samples. Lanes 1 to 7, recent Danish mink samples; lanes 8 to 14, archived Swedish mink samples from a single farm; lane 15, negative control. MWM, molecular weight marker (100-bp ladder with a stronger 600-bp fragment). Primers MA15 and MA17 produced a 178-bp fragment from the RdRp region of ORF1b of mink astroviruses. (B) Specificity of mink astrovirus RT-PCR. Lanes 1-10, human fecal samples previously found positive for human astroviruses by electron microscopy; lanes 11 and 12, pig astrovirus; lane 13, turkey astrovirus; lane 14, Swedish mink astrovirus.
