Mink to human: First spillover cases in the US

Autoplay

1 of 5

4 infected with variant from mink

At least four Americans were infected with a version of Covid virus, seen majorly in mink in 2020, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention there has confirmed. The infected people are from Michigan -- two employees of a Michigan mink farm that experienced a coronavirus outbreak in October 2020 -- while the other two had no known links to the farm.

Animal-to-human transmission

This suggests that the mink variant may have been circulating more widely among area residents at the time. The cluster, which previously included just three cases, represents the first known instance of possible animal-to-human transmission of the virus in the US.

Virus has two mutations

Samples of the virus from all four people contained two mutations that scientists have hypothesised may be signs of adaptation to mink. The mutations have previously been documented in farmed minks in Europe, as well as in people with connections to those farms.

Contact with mink

Also, that the farm workers tested positive for Covid-19 after the mink herd fell ill and started dying suggested this: the workers were infected after contact with mink on the farm.

Other reports of transmission

Mink-to-human transmission has also been reported in Denmark, the Netherlands and elsewhere. Overall, transmission of the virus from animals to humans is believed to be rare. Humans are more likely to infect each other, rather than get it from animals.
