Abstract:

Recent European guidelines facilitate the use of emergency vaccines during outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease. Antiviral drugs could be used as a complementary measure. This study aimed at developing a small animal model to assess the in vivo activity of early antiviral lead molecules with anti-foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) activity in vitro. In a first attempt, several FMDV strains were titrated in Balb/c mice. Inoculations with O₁ Manisa or C₁ Noville did not induce clinical disease, whereas Asia1 Shamir induced death too rapidly [i.e. within 4 days post-inoculation (dpi)]. Therefo…
