Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating a viral infection may comprise use of a viral recognition-site inhibiting agent composition. A viral recognition-site inhibiting agent composition of the present disclosure may substantially inhibit, reduce, or block virus bind to the LDLRAD3 host receptor and reduces the infectivity of a virus for a host cell. A method of treating a viral infection may comprise administering a composition comprising a viral recognition-site inhibiting agent of the present disclosure, to a subject and reducing the infectivity of the virus for a host cell of the subject. The compositions may be administered via intranasal or systemic administration to treat or prevent a viral infection, for example an alphavirus infection.
