Inhibition of Poxvirus Replication by Streptovaricin

Nancy A Quintrell 1,1, B R McAuslan 1
PMCID: PMC376147  PMID: 5497895

Abstract

A component of streptovaricin complex inhibits the replication of poxvirus. To be effective, the inhibitor must be introduced early in the replication cycle; it appears to inhibit early messenger ribonucleic acid synthesis by viral cores, thus interfering with all subsequent events. Neither of the two major components of the complex, streptovaricin A or C, was the active component.
