These also caught my eye. I do NOT know what did not bear up under further study, but am sure that at least some of the early leads must have fallen through.
: Vaccine 1998 Jul;16(11-12):1158-65
Vaccination with Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (AMDV) capsid proteins
enhances disease, while vaccination with the major non-structural AMDV protein
causes partial protection from disease.

I stopped looking in 1996, so have 6 years of summaries or abstracts to dig into later. Much of it will be beyond my educational background.
The ferrets and both of us are groggy today with the ozone levels; I hope that it's not too much strain on Sevie's compromised heart with her complete heart block. She is happy on her aminophylline and enacard to be reasonably active and to play, kiss, cuddle, etc. Sometimes we have to impose rest periods when she doesn't self-monitor well enough and starts to chill. Because she is doing as well as she is it has been decided by the vet that we'd better get a glucometer because she may last long enough to need that monitoring. We should all be so happy when we have something so serious. She shows no signs of discomfort, let alone pain, and just tires easily as her only sign.
