Pigs are not susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection but are a model for viral immunogenicity studies.
Júlia Vergara-Alert,Jordi Rodon,Jorge Carrillo,Nigeer Te,Nuria Izquierdo-Useros,María Luisa Rodríguez de la Concepción,Carlos Ávila-Nieto,Victor Guallar,Victor Guallar,Alfonso Valencia,Alfonso Valencia,Guillermo Cantero,Julià Blanco,Bonaventura Clotet,Albert Bensaid,Joaquim Segalés +15 more
TL;DR: Although piglets were not susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and lacked lesions or viral RNA in tissues/swabs, seroconversion was observed in pigs inoculated parenterally (intramuscularly or intravenously).

Type I and III IFNs produced by the nasal epithelia and dimmed inflammation are key features of alpacas resolving MERS-CoV infection
Nigeer Te,Jordi Rodon,Maria Ballester,Mónica Pérez,Lola Pailler-García,Joaquim Segalés,Júlia Vergara-Alert,Albert Bensaid +7 more
TL;DR: The nasal mucosa, the main target of MERS-CoV in camelids, is central in driving an efficient innate immune response based on triggering ISGs as well as the dual anti-inflammatory effects of type III IFNs and IL10, which contribute to virus clearance without causing tissue damage.
Extended Viral Shedding of MERS-CoV Clade B Virus in Llamas Compared with African Clade C Strain
Jordi Rodon,Anna Z Mykytyn,Nigeer Te,Nisreen M.A. Okba,Mart M. Lamers,Lola Pailler-García,Guillermo Cantero,Irina C. Albulescu,Berend Jan Bosch,Malik Peiris,Albert Bensaid,Júlia Vergara-Alert,Bart L. Haagmans,Joaquim Segalés +13 more
TL;DR: The authors provided experimental evidence for extended shedding of MERS-CoV clade B viruses in llamas, which might explain why they outcompete clade C strains in the Arabian Peninsula.
Type I and III IFNs produced by the nasal epithelia and dimmed inflammation are features of alpacas resolving MERS-CoV infection
Nigeer Te,Jordi Rodon,Maria Ballester,Mónica Pérez,Lola Pailler-García,Joaquim Segalés,Júlia Vergara-Alert,Albert Bensaid +7 more
TL;DR: The nasal mucosa, the main target of MERS-CoV in camelids, seems central in driving an efficient innate immune response based on triggering ISGs as well as the dual anti-inflammatory effects of type III IFNs and IL10.

Evaluation of alpaca tracheal explants as an ex vivo model for the study of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection
Nigeer Te,Jordi Rodon,Rhea Creve,Mónica Pérez,Joaquim Segalés,Júlia Vergara-Alert,Albert Bensaid +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , an ex vivo alpaca tracheal explant (ATE) model using an air-liquid interface culture system was used to gain insights into MERS-CoV infection in the camelid lower respiratory tract.
