Intranasal SARS-CoV-2 infection in ferrets leads to significantly higher temperature in 2-year-old animals compared to 1-year-old animals. (A) 1-year-old and 2-year-old male ferrets were intranasally inoculated with SARS-CoV-2 (106 TCID50) and temperature was also analysed for 14 days after inoculation and represented as a percentage of original temperature and (B) raw temperature. (C) Weight was recorded for 14 days post inoculation and represented as percentage of original weight. Results show the mean of at least 6 ferrets per group. *A p-value less than 0.05 determined by ANOVA comparing 1-year-old animals to 2-year-old animals. Error bars indicate ± SD.
