Abstract

International audience; The European mink (Mustela lutreola) is considered as critically endangered in the IUCN red list, and is already extinct in large parts of its ancestral range. A chromosome-scale reference genome has been recently produced during the ERGA (European Reference Genome Atlas) pilot project, from an individual sampled in 2006 in Dordogne (France) in the framework of the first National Action Plan for European Mink. A fibroblast cell culture was derived from a skin biopsy on this animal, and then cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen in the Paris National Museum of Natural History cell collection. This frozen sample was used to generate fresh cell cultures for the production of high-quality DNA that was subsequently sequenced and assembled into a high-quality reference genome. This reference can now be used for genomic studies of this species that presents a very high risk of inbreeding depression especially in the western part of its geographic distribution. Inbreeding depression is a critical concern for conservation efforts as it is common in small, declining or fragmented populations. Demographic history of a population can also have an impact on inbreeding depression and shape the levels of genetic load. Interestingly, small populations with extremely low genetic diversity do not always present evidence of Inbreeding depression and may persist thanks to the purging of strong deleterious variants. One way to measure the extent of inbreeding is to scan genomes for runs of homozygosity (ROH). This method is becoming more commonly used to estimate inbreeding and could become a new index for conservation status in wild animals. For this study, we selected two European mink from France (LIFE VISON et PNA Vison), two from Romania, two from Estonia and two from Spain for whole genome re-sequencing (> 25x), each genomic sequence being compared to the reference genome. We expect to find long stretches of ROH that would indicate recent events of inbreeding. The results might have a direct impact on the current conservation program for the European mink.

Abstract

The impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on wildlife is largely unevaluated, and extended surveillance of animal species is needed to reach a consensus on the role of animals in the emergence and maintenance of SARS-CoV-2. This infection has been detected in farmed and domestic animals and wild animals, mainly in captivity. The interactions or shared resources with wildlife could represent a potential transmission pathway for the SARS-CoV-2 spill over to other wild species and could lead to health consequences or the establishment of new reservoirs in susceptible hosts. This study evaluated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in European mink (Mustela lutreola) and American mink (Neogale vison) in Spain by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using the receptor binding domain (RBD) of Spike antigen in serum samples and/or by RT-qPCR assays in oropharyngeal and rectal swabs. From January 2020 to February 2022, a total of 162 animals (127 European mink and 35 American mink) with no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection were included in the study. Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 were not found in the serum samples analysed (n = 126), nor was the virus amplified by RT-qPCR (n = 160 swabs). Our results suggest that the potential role of wild mink and the European mink bred in captivity and released to the wild as dispersers of SARS-CoV-2 is so far low. However, wildlife surveillance for early detection of human and animal risks should be continued. In this sense, epidemiological monitoring measures, including serology and molecular analysis, are necessary., Depto. de Medicina y Cirugía Animal, Fac. de Veterinaria, TRUE, pub
