Abstract
We investigated coronavirus circulation in three tern species, in four islands of the Western Indian Ocean (Bird, Reunion, Europa, Juan de Nova). None of the 1513 samples tested positive by RT-PCR. We discuss the implication in term of host species range, ecological drivers of virus transmission, and diagnostic tools.
