Abstract
Ribavirin (1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide) eliminates foot-and-mouth disease virus from persistently infected cell cultures. The latter are 10-fold more sensitive to ribavirin than lytically infected cells. In treated cells no viral RNA or proteins could be detected by dot-blot hybridization to cDNA probes, virus and RNA infectivity assays, or immunofluorescence. A potential application of the drug for the treatment of animals carrying the virus is suggested.
