Queensland researchers and a US team have developed an antiviral therapy that has killed off the COVID-19 viral load in infected mice by 99.9 per cent.
Key points:
Gene-silencing RNA technology is used to destroy the COVID-19 virus genome directly and stops the virus replicating
The treatment could be available as early as 2023, depending on the next phase of clinical trials
The research has been published in Molecular Therapy
Lead researcher Professor Nigel McMillan, from Griffith University, called it a "seek and destroy mission" where the therapy genetically targeted the potentially deadly virus.
The international team of scientists from the Menzies Health Institute Queensland and the US research institute City of Hope began their collaborative research last April.
They used a "next-generation" viral approach using gene-silencing RNA technology to attack the virus genome directly, which stops the virus spreading.
