Eradication of Aleutian disease of mink by eliminating positive counterimmunoelectrophoresis test reactors.

H J Cho, J Greenfield
PMCID: PMC274849  PMID: 203601

Abstract

The counterimmunoelectrophorsis test was applied on three Aleutian disease virus-infected mink ranches for the detection of specific Aleutian disease virus antibody. All mink on the ranches were tested during the pelting season and before the breeding season for 4 consecutive years. Aleutian disease has been eliminated from the three commercial mink ranches by culling out all mink that were positive for Aleutian disease virus antibody.
