Augmentation of Omicron pathogenicity in hamsters using intratracheal inoculation
2023-10-09
Abstract excerpt
The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 displays an attenuated phenotype in the Syrian hamster after intranasal inoculation. This is characterized by reduced viral replication and lung pathology in the lower respiratory tract. Here, we report that intratracheal inoculation with BA.1 Omicron recovers the lower respiratory tract replication and pathogenicity as observed with other lineages.
