Susceptibility of different strains of pigeon herpesvirus to trisodium phosphonoformate.
The susceptibility to trisodium phosphonoformate of five strains of pigeon herpesvirus (Pigeon Herpesvirus 1, PHV) was compared by measuring the mean plaque size variations in the presence of different concentrations of the compound. Significant differences in their susceptibility to phosphonoformate were observed, but none of them was found to be naturally resistant. This finding may be of significance for a possible clinical application in the treatment of pigeon herpesvirus infection.
