Staphylococcus aureus MASTITIS IN NURSING MINK AFFECTED WITH ALEUTIAN DISEASE

Abstract
An outbreak of staphylococcal mastitis in nursing female ranch mink (Mustela vison) is described. Lesions were acute necrotizing mastitis, fatty infiltration of the liver and renal tubules, and adrenal cortical hyperplasia. The presence of Aleutian disease in the herd suggests a role of immunosuppression in the outbreak.
