title: Inhibition of foot and mouth disease virus and procapsid synthesis by zinc ions. Brief report.
abstract: Zinc ions inhibit virus production and viral RNA synthesis in FMDV infected-BHK 21 cells. The degree of inhibition depends upon the zinc concentration and the time of addition of the drug. A differential inhibition on virus and procapsids synthesis was observed.
