Levels of lung affection after challenge with different infection doses. (A) Macroscopically determined level of lesion-affection (%) of whole lung during autopsy at 7 dpi and (B) at 10 dpi displayed as the mean value and standard deviation for each group. (C, D) Histopathology of hamster lungs, 10 days after orotracheal SARS-CoV-2 infection. Pneumonia-associated consolidation (C) and representative overviews (D) of the entire left lung lobe of (i) uninfected control; (ii) high dose control; (iii) infected with 1 * 102 TCID50; (iv) infected with 1 * 100 TCID50; (v) infected with 1 * 10−1 TCID50; (vi) infected with 1 * 10−2 TCID50; (vii) infected with 1 * 10−3 TCID50; (viii) infected with 1 * 10−4 TCID50.
