The present invention relates to methods of inhibiting viruses that depend on RGD and/or RLD integrin binding motifs on the virus structural proteins for entry into cells. The invention further relates to methods of treating, reducing the severity of, or preventing RGD and/or RLD-dependent virus infections using integrin antagonists such as antibodies or fragments or derivatives thereof, peptides, or peptidomimetics targeted to alpha V integrins that recognize RGD binding motifs, integrin αMβ2 that recognizes RLD binding motifs, or integrin αvβ3 that recognizes both RGD and RLD binding motifs. The invention additionally includes compositions useful for carrying out the methods of the invention.
