The Aleutian Mink Disease Virus (AMDV), also known as Aleutian Disease (AD), is a type of parvovirus that predominantly affects minks. This virus causes a highly contagious and devastating illness in these animals, leading to severe immune system damage and potentially fatal outcomes. No cure or specific treatment is available for AMDV, making prevention and control crucial in mink farming. Synonyms that are commonly used to refer to AMDV include Aleutian Disease Virus, Mink Parvovirus, and Mink Distemper Virus. It is essential for mink farmers and veterinarians to be familiar with these synonyms to ensure effective communication and effective disease management strategies.
