Concentrations and sizes of viral aerosols exhaled by Pangolin-CoV- and SARS-CoV-2-infected hamsters

(A) Total viral aerosol concentrations exhaled by Pangolin-CoV- and SARS-CoV-2-infected hamsters at 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 dpi.

(B) Size distribution of the virus-laden particles.

(C) Quantity and size distribution of virus-laden particles exhaled by Pangolin-CoV-infected hamsters.

(D) Quantity and size distribution of virus-laden particles exhaled by SARS-CoV-2-infected hamsters. Data in (A), (C), and (D) were overlaid with mean ± SD. The limit of linear range of quantification (0.833 N gene copies per liter of air) is shown with the red dotted line. # indicates that infectious virus was recovered from the aerosol samples. All data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, and comparisons between two groups were made using the SNK method. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01 and ∗∗∗p < 0.001 (Pangolin-CoV vs. SARS-CoV-2).
