The geneLEAD VIII is a fully-automated nucleic acid extraction/quantitative PCR equipment developed by Precision System Science Co., Ltd., (PSS). To take advantage of its capability, we developed a quantitative assay system to measure growth of animal viruses. The system was used to assay one of the Chinese herbal extracts whose anti-malarial activities were previously reported and demonstrated its dose-dependent anti-viral activity against feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), a feline coronavirus causing the fatal diseases in cats, and relatively low cell toxicity. The assay developed in this study is useful to screen antiviral drugs and the anti-FIPV activity of the herbal extract identified have a potential to lead to development of new drugs against FIPV and other coronaviruses, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
