Sporadic cases of dermatosis have been reported in wild Ōkārito Rowi (Apteryx rowi), a species of brown kiwi, for over a decade. The disease exhibits distinctive features, including lesions, lichenification, and feather loss. Swab samples and full-thickness skin biopsies were collected during a survey of affected kiwi in 2023 for a metatranscriptome-based, total infectome investigation to identify any possible microbial agents associated with the disease. Our approach identified novel viruses...
