TL;DR: It is found that SARS-CoV-2 isolates replicate efficiently in the lungs of Syrian hamsters and cause severe pathological lesions in the lung of these animals similar to commonly reported imaging features of COVID-19 patients with pneumonia.

TL;DR: Coronavirus in Cats SARS-CoV-2 was detected in three cats after they were cohoused with cats that had been experimentally inoculated with the virus.

TL;DR: The robust replicative ability in mice, ferrets and nonhuman primates and the limited transmissibility in ferrets of Anhui/1 suggest that A(H7N9) viruses have pandemic potential.

TL;DR: Compared models of the human airway, transcriptomics and proteomics datasets were used to compare ISG response patterns following highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza (HPAI) A virus, 2009 pandemic H1N1, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and Middle East respiratory syndrome CoV infection, revealing similarities and differences in strategies to control the interferon and innate immune response.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the highly pathogenic H7N9 virus has pandemic potential and should be closely monitored.
