Abstract
The counterimmunoelectrophoresis test was applied on 3 Aleutian disease virus-infected mink ranches for the detection of specific Aleutian disease virus antibody. All mink on the ranches were tested during the pelting season and before the breeding season for 4 consecutive yr. Aleutian disease was eliminated from the 3 commerical mink ranches by culling out all mink that were positive for Aleutian disease virus antibody.
