Ancestral lineage of SARS-CoV-2 is more stable in human biological fluids than Alpha, Beta and Omicron variants of concern

T. Kwon, N. N. Gaudreault, D. Meekins, C. McDowell, K. Cool, J. A. Richt

This study compares the stability of SARS-CoV-2 ancestral and variant strains in human biological fluids, finding the ancestral strain more stable than Alpha, Beta, and Omicron in liquid samples.

Infection and transmission of ancestral SARS-CoV-2 and its alpha variant in pregnant white-tailed deer

K. Cool, N. N. Gaudreault, I. Morozov, J. D. Trujillo, D. A. Meekins, C. McDowell, M. Carossino, D. Bold, T. Kwon, V. Balaraman, D. W. Madden, B. Libanori Artiaga, R. M. Pogranichniy, G. Roman Sosa, J. Henningson, , J. A. Richt

This study shows adult white-tailed deer are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and can transmit it vertically and horizontally, with the alpha variant outcompeting the ancestral strain.

SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have acquired mutations associated with an increased spike cleavage

A. Escalera, A. S. Gonzalez-Reiche, S. Aslam, I. Mena, R. L. Pearl, M. Laporte, A. Fossati, R. Rathnasinghe, H. Alshammary, A. van de Guchte, M. Bouhaddou, T. Kehrer, L. Zuliani-Alvarez, D. A. Meekins, V. Balaraman, , T. Aydillo

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have mutations that increase spike cleavage and fusogenic capacity, enhancing viral transmission and cell entry.

Experimental re-infected cats do not transmit SARS-CoV-2

N. N. Gaudreault, M. Carossino, I. Morozov, J. D. Trujillo, D. A. Meekins, D. W. Madden, K. Cool, B. Libanori Artiaga, C. McDowell, D. Bold, V. Balaraman, T. Kwon, W. Ma, J. Henningson, D. W. Wilson, , J. A. Richt

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 can re-infect previously infected cats, but viral shedding is insufficient for transmission to naive cats.
