Here, to establish the COVID-19 model, two families including 3 species of non-human primates, which are widely used for animal models with their own advantages and disadvantages, were experimentally infected with SARS-CoV-2, followed by comparisons of clinical symptoms, hematology, biochemical indexes, immunology and histopathology among 3 species. Given that host factors may be involved in viral pathogenesis, we designed an experiment in the present study to investigate whether host genetics, age and gender affect SARS-CoV-2 infection in non-human primates ( Figure 1 ). To know dynamics of viral replication and virus shedding, samples of nasal swabs, throat swabs, anal swabs, feces, blood and tissues were collected at the indicated time points, and SARS-CoV-2 genomes were quantitated by RT-qPCR. ./cache/cord-273645-czh3zfb3.txt ./txt/cord-273645-czh3zfb3.txt
