University of Sask. disease model may give insight into COVID-19 'long haulers'

 
SASKATOON --
A scientist at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) has published new research on the potential lasting effects of COVID-19.
Alyson Kelvin and the team at the university’s Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) created a disease model that may give some insight into the health risks of COVID-19 “long-haulers.”
“A large number of people, after they have come out of the acute phase after the virus has been cleared from their body, there is prolonged symptoms,” said Kelvin.
To investigate, the research team used the hamster model of COVID-19 developed at VIDO to determine disease mechanisms and the involvement of organs such as the lungs, heart and kidneys.
