Mink circovirus (MiCV) has been recognized as the causative agent of the disease. The aim of the study was to develop a subunit vaccine against mink refractory diarrhea. A recombinant baculovirus strain expressing the capsid protein was constructed using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). A subunit vaccine was developed based on the capsid protein with appropriate adjuvant. Then, a field trial was carried out in two districts in order to evaluate the efficiency of the subunit vaccine. The field trial indicated that in total, only 1.8% of the minks developed typical diarrhea in the vaccinated group compared with 74.5% in the control group. The vaccination could significantly reduce the infection rate of MiCV among the mink herds and could restrain the virus\u2019 shedding from feces. Furthermore, the vaccinated group had a higher average litter size in the following year compared to the control group. Collectively, the results indicated that the subunit vaccine based on the capsid protein can provide reliable protection against MiCV infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v13040606","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]],"date-time":"2021-04-01T23:05:11Z","timestamp":1617318311000},"page":"606","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Mink Circovirus Capsid Subunit Expressed by Recombinant Baculovirus Protects Minks against Refractory Diarrhea in Field"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Lidong","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Epidemiology, Institute of Military Veterinary Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Sciences, Jilin 130122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanyan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Epidemiology, Institute of Military Veterinary Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Sciences, Jilin 130122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Teng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Epidemiology, Institute of Military Veterinary Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Sciences, Jilin 130122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lijuan","family":"Mi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Epidemiology, Institute of Military Veterinary Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Sciences, Jilin 130122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xuefei","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Epidemiology, Institute of Military Veterinary Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Sciences, Jilin 130122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xintao","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Epidemiology, Institute of Military Veterinary Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Sciences, Jilin 130122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Faming","family":"Miao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Epidemiology, Institute of Military Veterinary Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Sciences, Jilin 130122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shoufeng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Epidemiology, Institute of Military Veterinary Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Sciences, Jilin 130122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ye","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Epidemiology, Institute of Military Veterinary Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Sciences, Jilin 130122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8382-8492","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rongliang","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Epidemiology, Institute of Military Veterinary Medicine, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Academy of Military Sciences, Jilin 130122, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1547","DOI":"10.3201\/eid2009.140015","article-title":"Novel Circovirus from Mink, China","volume":"20","author":"Lian","year":"2014","journal-title":"Emerg.
