Abstract
- Conventional piglets were inoculated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) through different routes, including intranasal, intratracheal, intramuscular and intravenous ones. 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).<br />The CBIG Consortium (constituted by IRTA‐CReSA, BSC, & IrsiCaixa) is supported by Grifols pharmaceutical. The authors also acknowledge the crowdfunding initiative of https://www.yomecorono.com.<br />Peer Reviewed<br />Postprint (published version)
