Low dose inocula of SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant transmits more efficiently than earlier variants in hamsters
Bobo Wing-Yee Mok et al. observe that the Alpha (B.1.1.7) variant of SARS-CoV-2 exhibits increased competitive fitness over earlier lineages at lower doses in a hamster model of viral transmission. Their results suggest that the Alpha variant’s ability to initiate effective infection with a low dose...
