        Abstract The zoonotic origin of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is still unknown. Animal experiments have shown that non-human primates, cats, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits and bats can be infected by SARS-CoV-2.

            Mink running loose cause unrest in Best: 'such an animal could have corona'

            In the past few days, several mink have been spotted in the Heivelden and Naastenbest neighborhoods in Best. Last week, a rabbit was bitten to death and a chicken fell victim to a mink on Thursday. The minks may come from a farm in the municipality.
            In Best worden de afgelopen dagen in de wijken Heivelden en Naastenbest allerlei loslopende nertsen gezien. Vorige week is een konijn doodgebeten en donderdag werd een kip het slachtoffer van een nerts. Mogelijk komen de nertsen van de fokkerij in de gemeente.

              Fiftieth mink farm infected


              The corona virus has again been diagnosed at two mink farms. This brings the total number of infected mink farms to fifty, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.

              These are companies in the North Brabant towns of Deurne and Wilbertoord. Both farms have approximately 3000 parent animals. The animals will be culled as soon as possible to prevent the virus from spreading.

                An estimated 2 million mink were culled

                How many pups does a mink get?
                A mink has an average of five to six young (puppies) per litter once a year.
