Frutos Roger, Devaux Christian. 2020. Mass culling of minks to protect the COVID-19 vaccines: Is it rational?. New Microbes and New Infections, 38:100816, 2 p.

Résumé : The Danish Government announced the culling of 17 million minks in rearing after the report of mink-specific mutations of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in humans. The rationale behind this decision is that these mutations might negatively impact the deployment of anti-coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines. Is it a precautionary attitude or a panic-driven overreaction?
