a–c, Viral titres in nasal washes were determined from infected and exposed hamster pairs in SARS-CoV-2 (a) and 3 replicate experiments involving PgCoV groups (b and c (groups 1 and 2)). Uninfected groups of exposed animals were housed in separate cages with a 5-cm distance from the infected hamster. d.p.i., days post infection. d, PgCoV disease pathology in the lung (left) and immunohistology staining for PgCoV N protein (right). Boxes on left identify tissue regions examined under higher magnification on right.
