Dear Sukie,

I think you are right.
Aleutian coloured mink have the dubious honour having
a virus named after it, because mink of this particular
grey colour are exceptionally susceptible to the Aleutian
disease virus, ADV, a parvovirus that infects mink and
ferrets.

Regards,
Christina

[The study was of changes in brains and more with minks
