Lack of Susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV in Poultry
David L Suarez, Mary J Pantin-Jackwood, David E Swayne, Scott A Lee, Suzanne M DeBlois, Erica Spackman
Abstract
We challenged chickens, turkeys, ducks, quail, and geese with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus. We observed no disease and detected no virus replication and no serum antibodies. We concluded that poultry are unlikely to serve a role in maintenance of either virus.
