SARS-CoV-2 spike D614G variant exhibits highly efficient replication and transmission in hamsters

2020-08-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> SARS-CoV-2 causes disease varying in severity from asymptomatic infections to severe respiratory distress and death in humans. The viral factors which determine transmissibility and pathogenicity are not yet clearly characterized. We used the hamster infection model to compare the replication ability and pathogenicity of five SARS-CoV-2 strains isolated from early cases originating in Wuhan, Chin...
