TL;DR

It seems that the infected male mice with the recent SARS-CoV-2/2025 could suffer from milder clinical signs than the infected female mice because of the increased expression of immune-enhancing cytokines and anti-apoptotic genes.

Mutations in SARS-CoV-2 Nsp1 are critical determinants of viral pathogenicity in mice

The reduced pathogenicity of rSARS-CoV-2 Nsp1 mutants highlights the potential for targeting Nsp1 for rational design of viral inhibitors and development of live-attenuated vaccine strategies as effective prophylactic and therapeutic treatments to combat SARS-CoV-2 and possibly other CoV infections.

Persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection in SCID rats reflects immune vulnerability of the upper airway and trachea

ABSTRACT In immunocompromised patients, persistent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection carries the risk of prolonged viral shedding and emergence of new variants. To reproduce the key features of persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection and evaluate its transmissibility, mouse-passaged SARS-Co...

Crosstalk between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and SARS-CoV-2 defines divergent cellular composition of murine responses

Introduction Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects nearly a quarter of the world population, while SARS-CoV-2 has infected hundreds of millions in recent years. The cellular and genetic impact of this coinfection remains unclear. Methods Using a murine model, we studied SARS-CoV-2 superinfection during acute and chronic s...

SARS-CoV-2 infection in companion animals: An updated mini-review of susceptibility, transmission and one health significance

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), can infect a broad range of mammalian species, including companion animals. Early reports during 2020 established that cats and dogs can acquire SARS-CoV-2, particularly after close contact with inf...

Lethal C57BL/6 mouse model for Yezo virus infection and antiviral therapeutic evaluation

ABSTRACT Yezo virus (YEZV) is an emerging tick-borne orthonairovirus that causes febrile illness and hepatic injury in humans. However, its pathogenesis and effective antiviral interventions remain poorly characterized. In this study, we generated a lethal, mouse-adapted YEZV strain through 30 serial passages in C57BL/...
