title: Inhibition of Borna disease virus replication by ribavirin in persistently infected cells.
abstract: Ribavirin at concentrations from 1 to 10 micrograms/ml exhibited inhibitory effects on transcription of Borna disease virus (BDV) in persistently infected cells. Our present study indicates that ribavirin is a candidate anti-BDV drug.
