MOSCOW, November 13. /TASS/. A coronavirus mutation which is presumably transmitted from minks to humans is dangerous since it has a different spike construction which may affect the work on vaccines against the coronavirus, Melita Vujnovic, World Health Organization (WHO) representative in Russia, said in an interview. https://tass.com/world/1223235

5-27-20 Mink on at least three farms have tested positive for the virus. Authorities suspect feral cats may be spreading the virus between farms. The virus at two farms appeared to be closely related and three cats at one farm had antibodies to the virus. Officials initially believed humans had spread the virus to the minks, but genome analysis suggested the transmission went the other way. https://wildlife.org/mink-may-have-spread-coronavirus-to-human/

The American mink Neovison vison (Linnaeus, 1758) is native to North America and is now established as an invasive species in South America, Europe and Asia (Dunstone 1993). Several studies have demonstrated that the American mink can have a serious impact on native species. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/11250003.2013.804126
