Detection and sequence analysis of Danish and Swedish strains of mink astrovirus

J Clin Microbiol. 2003 Nov;41(11):5192-4. doi: 10.1128/JCM.41.11.5192-5194.2003.

Abstract

The sequences of mink astroviruses collected from 11 farms in Denmark and Sweden were analyzed and found to be homologous with one another but different from those of other astroviruses. A species-specific reverse transcriptase-PCR for mink astrovirus was established and shown to be suitable for the analysis of clinical samples.
