Healthy waterfowl were carriers of duck plague (DP) virus. Black ducks (Anas rubripes) and Canada geese (Branta canadensis) surviving a natural outbreak of DP at Coloma, Wisconsin [USA], in 1973 yielded DP virus in cloacal swabs taken 4 yr post-infection. Experimental infection of previously unexposed mallard ducks (A. platyrhynochos) with the Coloma strain of DP virus CO-WI produced cloacal virus shedding up to 4 yr after infection. A 2nd DP virus strain, LA-SD from the Lake Andes, South Dakota [USA] epornitic, was detected from cloacal swabs of pintail ducks (A. acuta), gadwall ducks (A. strepera), wood ducks (Aix sponsa) and Canada geese infected experimentally 1 yr before. Frequency of swabs positive for DP virus varied between individuals within each tested species. Amount of detectable DP virus shed was about 100 plaque-forming units of virus/cloacal swab. Oral erosions were present in all species tested except Canada geese and gadwall ducks. Erosions occurred at the openings of the sublingual salivary gland ducts. DP virus was isolated from erosions. All ducks with lesions shed DP virus, although not necessarily at the time they had the lesion.
