Aptamer-targeting of Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) can be an effective strategy to inhibit virus replication

Abstract Aleutian mink disease (AMD), which is caused by Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV), is an important contagious disease for which no effective vaccine is yet available. AMD causes major economic losses for mink farmers globally and threatens some carnivores such as skunks, genets, foxes and...
