TL;DR
This study found that poultry are not susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 or MERS-CoV, suggesting they do not play a role in spreading these viruses.
Contribution
The study provides new evidence that poultry are not susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 or MERS-CoV.
Findings
Poultry showed no disease symptoms after being challenged with SARS-CoV-2 or MERS-CoV.
No virus replication or serum antibodies were detected in the tested poultry species.
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.
