The isolation and preliminary characterization of a virus from domestic mink- are reported. The virus was tentatively classified as a member of the family Picornaviridae on the basis of its physicochemical properties. The mink virus was not neutralized by antiserum to some known members of the calicivirus genus, which included the nine serotypes of vesicular exanthema of swine virus, ten serotypes of San Miguel sea lion virus and feline calicivirus. Seroepidemiological studies indicated that the incidence of mink virus infection was widespread in domestic mink populations. Although the virus was isolated from mink on ranches with a history of hemorrhagic pneumonia (pseudomonas pneumonia), no specific disease process could be attributed to the virus infection.
本文报道了从养殖水貂中分离出一种病毒并对其进行初步特性鉴定的过程。根据其理化性质，该病毒暂被归类为小核糖核酸病毒科的成员。水貂病毒不能被针对杯状病毒属某些已知成员的抗血清中和，这些已知成员包括猪水泡疹病毒的9个血清型、圣米格尔海狮病毒的10个血清型和猫杯状病毒。血清流行病学研究表明，水貂病毒感染在养殖水貂群体中普遍存在。尽管该病毒是从有出血性肺炎（假单胞菌肺炎）病史的牧场水貂中分离出来的，但病毒感染并未引发特定的疾病进程。
