[Application note] SARS-CoV-2 detection in naturally infected mink farms

The first case of natural SARS-CoV-2 infection in mink was reported in April 2020. Since then, more than 400 cases of human-to-mink and vice-versa transmissions have been confirmed within the European Union. Several research studies have shown that widespread circulation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus within mink farms could lead to the creation of vaccine-resistant virus strains.

In this application note, discover how the Coriolis Compact was used to investigate SARS-CoV-2 infection outbreaks in two mink farms at different breeding stages.
