dc.description.abstract Mice inoculated intranasally with murine gammaherpesvirus-68 were used to evaluate the efficacy of acyclovir (ACV) in the treatment of acute and latent infections. Effectiveness was measured by infectious virus assay of the lung (site of active replication) and infectious centre assay of spleen cells (site of latency). Intraperitoneal administration of ACV at 6-h intervals starting soon after inoculation was more effective in reducing infectious virus in the lung than was treatment with 12-hourly injections commencing 3 days post-infection. en_US
