SARS-CoV-2 mutations among minks show reduced lethality and infectivity to humans.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2021

Konishi Tomokazu

Abstract excerpt

SARS-CoV-2 infection in minks has become a serious problem, as the virus may mutate and reinfect humans; some countries have decided to cull minks. Here, the virus sequencing data in minks were analysed and compared to those of human-virus. Although the mink-virus maintained the characteristics of human-virus, some variants rapidly mutated, adapting to minks. Some mink-derived variants infected humans, which...
