Fig. 6From: Characterization of DNA aptamers generated against the soft-shelled turtle iridovirus with antiviral effectsQA-36 inhibited STIV infection in cultured turtles. a Cumulative mortality of turtles was recorded daily up to 10 days p.i.. QA-36 slowed the rate of STIV infection and reduced the cumulative mortality by 20 %. b Filtrates collected from ground liver and spleen tissues of dead turtles exerted a CPE in FHM cells.
