The Omicron BA.1 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 Omicron BA.1 recovers the lower respiratory tract replication and pathogenicity as observed with other lineages.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)的奥密克戎BA.1变体经鼻内接种后在叙利亚仓鼠中表现出减弱的表型。其特征是病毒复制减少以及下呼吸道的肺部病变减轻。在此,我们报告,经气管接种奥密克戎BA.1可恢复下呼吸道的复制和致病性,这与其他谱系所观察到的情况相同。
