eng Abstract:
This thesis investigates ultrastructural changes in mouse lungs after infection of the severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on the British SARS- CoV-2 B.1.1.7 variant, the research aims to identify and describe what is happening in the infected lung tissue during the early infection stages. By analyzing serial block face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) datasets at three time points, the thesis aims to contribute insights into the onset and the progression of the disease.
