A coronavirus outbreak in a ten-day window in late September has killed thousands of tankers on Utah farms, raising the possibility of caution in nine farms in the state.
The state’s veterinarian who spread the epidemic, Dr. De. According to Dean Taylor, there is probably no indication that the monks infected any humans.
“We don’t really think there’s a lot of risk going from mink to people,” Taylor told the Associated Press.
About 8,000 minkos have died since the outbreak. Fur from dead infected people is still used commercially. The tablets are processed to remove the virus before being used for cop or other clothing accessories, according to the Fur Commission USA, a trade group.
According to Taylor, no animals have been exposed to their infection.
The epidemic was previously known to be dangerous for mink disease this spring after you infected mink in the Netherlands. Officials in Spain and the Netherlands slaughtered thousands of mints this summer for fear the animals could transmit the virus to humans, the New York Times reported.
Research from the Netherlands has shown that minks are dangerously susceptible to COVID-19, which has led them to focus on specific lung proteins that bind the virus.
Taylor said the transmission between minkos in Utah follows a similar spread in humans. Younger men are less susceptible, with most deaths occurring between the ages of one and four.
“It’s going through breeding colonies and will clean up the old mink and leave the small mink without loosening,” Taylor said.
