    Snippet: Chloroquine has been successfully tested in animal models. Twice daily administration of chloroquine (90 mg/kg) has been shown to increase the Balb/c mice survival rate to 80%-90% after infection with Ebola virus (EBOV) [43] . In a C57BL/6 mice model for coronavirus infection, chloroquine (50 mg/kg) protected 100% of 5-day-old suckling mice infected with human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) when administered to pregnant mice 1 day prepartum [44] . .....
    Document: Chloroquine has been successfully tested in animal models. Twice daily administration of chloroquine (90 mg/kg) has been shown to increase the Balb/c mice survival rate to 80%-90% after infection with Ebola virus (EBOV) [43] . In a C57BL/6 mice model for coronavirus infection, chloroquine (50 mg/kg) protected 100% of 5-day-old suckling mice infected with human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) when administered to pregnant mice 1 day prepartum [44] . A survival rate of 70% was observed in Balb/c mice infected with avian influenza H5N1 virus treated with chloroquine at 50 mg/kg/day [45] . These results suggest that chloroquine has the potential to inhibit ZIKV in in vivo mouse studies.
