This study compares early nasal cavity damage caused by SARS-CoV-2 D614G, Delta, and Omicron variants in Syrian hamsters, finding Delta causes more rapid viral spread and damage at 1 dpi.

This study shows that anchoring a SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing nanobinder to mucin increases its residence time in the nasal cavity, enhancing antiviral efficacy in hamsters.

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 infection causes rapid and severe damage to the olfactory epithelium in golden Syrian hamsters, primarily through infection of sustentacular cells and immune cell infiltration, leading to anosmia.
