Rinderpeste virus inhibition in vitro by ribavirin

Abstract: The effect of the broad spectrum antivirus ribavirin has been tested against the replication of rinderpest virus (RPV) in Bovine kidney cells (BK) as a primary culture and vero cell line culture.
Ribavirin showed no effect on growth and viability of both cell cultures in range of 0.1-200 Ug/ml. When such ribavirin concentrations were applied to BK and vero cell cultures , infected with RPV, no cythopathic effects were detected for 12 days of incubation . The efficacy of ribavirin against RPV in vitro has been confirmed by the back titration test.
