Host and viral determinants of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the Syrian hamster

J. R. Port, D. H. Morris, J. C. Riopelle, C. K. Yinda, V. A. Avanzato, M. G. Holbrook, T. Bushmaker, J. E. Schulz, T. A. Saturday, K. Barbian, C. A. Russel, R. Perry-Gottschalk, C. I. Shaia, C. Martens, J. O. Lloyd-Smith, , V. J. Munster

This study investigates how SARS-CoV-2 infection affects airborne transmission in Syrian hamsters, finding that viral shedding and transmission efficiency vary by host and virus factors.

SARS-CoV-2 disease severity and transmission efficiency is increased for airborne but not fomite exposure in Syrian hamsters

J. R. Port, C. K. Yinda, I. Offei Owusu, M. Holbrook, R. J. Fischer, T. J. Bushmaker, V. A. Avanzato, J. E. Schulz, N. van Doremalen, C. Clancy, V. Munster

This study shows that airborne SARS-CoV-2 exposure causes more severe disease and efficient transmission in Syrian hamsters compared to fomite exposure.

K18-hACE2 mice develop respiratory disease resembling severe COVID-19

C. K. Yinda, J. R. Port, T. J. Bushmaker, I. Offei Owusu, V. A. Avanzato, R. J. Fischer, J. E. Schulz, M. G. Holbrook, M. J. Hebner, R. Rosenke, T. Thomas, A. Marzi, S. M. Best, E. de Wit, C. Shaia, , V. Munster

This paper shows that K18-hACE2 mice develop severe respiratory disease upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, resembling human severe COVID-19 with lung pathology and systemic inflammation.

Heat-treated virus inactivation rate depends strongly on treatment procedure: illustration with SARS-CoV-2

A. Gamble, R. J. Fischer, D. H. Morris, K. C. Yinda, V. J. Munster, J. O. Lloyd-Smith

This study shows that heat treatment of SARS-CoV-2 in liquid specimens varies greatly depending on the container used, with closed vials incurring much faster inactivation than uncovered plates.
