TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used domestic cats as a model to study the evolutionary mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 viruses adapt to mammalian hosts and undergo antigenic evolution depend on the ways genetic variation is generated and selected within and between individual hosts.

TL;DR: The authors found that within-host diversity is low and transmission bottlenecks are narrow, with very few viruses founding most infections, and most variation generated within host is lost during transmission.

TL;DR: Serial computed tomography is used to demonstrate that bilateral intrabronchial instillation of SARS-CoV-2 into crab-eating macaques results in mild-to-moderate lung abnormalities qualitatively characteristic of subclinical or mild- to-moderate COVID-19, and operator-independent, semi-automatic quantification of the volume and radiodensity of CT abnormalities are applied as a possible primary endpoint for immediate and objective efficacy testing of candidate medical countermeasures.

TL;DR: This review aims to analyze current available data on marmoset physical and behavioral postnatal development, describe the methods used and discuss next steps to better understand and evaluate marmosets normal and abnormal postnatal neurodevelopment.

TL;DR: Analysis of 247 full-genome SARS-CoV-2 sequences from two nearby communities in Wisconsin, USA finds surprisingly distinct patterns of viral spread, which suggest patterns of Sars-Cov-2 transmission may vary substantially even in nearby communities.
