Following vaccination, HVT infects feathers where it can be detected in all chicken lines examined. Unlike the parental Brown line (BL), Smyth line (SL) chickens develop vitiligo, due to autoimmune destruction of melanocytes in feathers. Previous reports showed a strong inflammatory response in Smyth chickens\u2019 feathers at vitiligo onset, that subsided once melanocytes were destroyed, and depigmentation was complete. Here, we questioned whether the local autoimmune response in the Smyth model influences HVT infection and persistence in feathers. For this, one-day-old SL and BL chickens were vaccinated with Newcastle disease (rHVT-ND). Vitiligo was scored and HVT loads in pigmented and non-pigmented growing feathers were quantified regularly over 20 weeks. Chickens of both lines showed moderate HVT loads in feathers. At the onset of active vitiligo, the HVT load was significantly higher in SL compared to BL feathers. However, no difference in HVT loads was noticed between pigmented and non-pigmented feathers from SL chickens. Therefore, surprisingly, the inflammatory response in feathers of SL chickens did not inhibit HVT infection and persistence, but on the contrary, temporarily promoted HVT infection in feathers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms8101613","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,20]],"date-time":"2020-10-20T20:50:07Z","timestamp":1603227007000},"page":"1613","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Mardivirus Infection and Persistence in Feathers of a Chicken Model Harboring a Local Autoimmune Response"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Gisela F.","family":"Erf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Poultry Science, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gilles","family":"Le Pape","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anastats, 14 rue de la Bretonnerie, 37000 Tours, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sylvie","family":"R\u00e9my","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ISP, INRAE, Universit\u00e9 Tours, 37380 Nouzilly, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Denesvre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ISP, INRAE, Universit\u00e9 Tours, 37380 Nouzilly, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Davison, F., and Nair, V.K.
