Inactivation and inhibition of African swine fever virus by monoolein, monolinolein, and γ-linolenyl alcohol

Monoolein, monolinolein and (most strongly) γ-linolenyl alcohol inactivate ASF virus and inhibit its replication in Vero cells at 25 µg/ml while at 10 µg/ml no inactivation occurs but inhibition of replication in tissue culture is observed. This suggests two possibly different action mechanisms.
