Resumen
Immature feathers are known replication sites for high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) in poultry.
However, it is unclear whether feathers play an active role in viral transmission. This study aims to investigate the
contribution of the feather epithelium to the dissemination of clade 2.3.4.4b goose/Guangdong/1996 lineage H5
HPAIVs in the environment, based on natural and experimental infections of domestic mule and Muscovy ducks.
During the 2016–2022 outbreaks, H5 HPAIVs exhibited persistent and marked feather epitheliotropism in naturally
infected commercial ducks. Infection of the feather epithelium resulted in epithelial necrosis and disruption, as well
as the production and environmental shedding of infectious virions. Viral and feather antigens colocalized in dust
samples obtained from poultry barns housing naturally infected birds. In summary, the feather epithelium
contributes to viral replication, and it is a likely source of environmental infectious material. This underestimated
excretion route could greatly impact the ecology of HPAIVs, facilitating airborne and preening-related infections
within a flock, and promoting prolonged viral infectivity and long-distance viral transmission between poultry farms.
