Abstract
Certain myxoviruss and several strains of human influenza and parainfluenza viruses are inhibited by amantadine hydrochloride (1-adamantanamine hydrochloride) both in vitro and in vivo. 1, 2, 5 The evaluation of amantadine in the prevention of influenza in humans has been discussed. Other viruses, such as rubella, pseudorabies, and fowl plague viruses are also sensitive to this drug.3, 4 Recently, the drug was shown to inhibit murine sarcoma viruses in cell cultures.
The effect of amantadine hydrocloride on the multiplication
of bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) and SF-4 (bovine myxovirus
parainfluenza-3) viruses in primary bovine embryonic kidney
(BEK) cell culture are presented in this report.
