The ineffectiveness of vaccination, medicine, and culling strategy leads mink farmers to control Aleutian disease (AD) by selecting AD-resilient mink based on AD tests. However, the genetic background of AD tests and their correlations with economically important or AD-resilient traits are limited. This study estimated the genetic and phenotypic correlations between four AD tests and seven body weight (BW)...
