capaces de mantener el virus

Spanish to English Science Livestock / Animal Husbandry Foot and Mouth Disease
My attempt:
Indeed, although these species are susceptible, there is no evidence in the history of Ecuador to suggest that they are **capable of maintaining the virus** in these wild populations despite the repeated outbreaks of FMD that have occurred in the country up to 20i11.

The jist of the text is that FMD has been practically eradicated in Ecuador. Is the notion here that the virus cannot persist in these populations of wild boar and deer? Thanks for your help.

Los animales silvestres susceptibles a FA que están presentes en Ecuador Continental son jabalíes y venados que se encuentran en la zona de bosque, y que, como en otras partes de Sudamérica, no hay evidencias de que de estos representen algún riesgo para ser una fuente de infección del virus de la FA.
Incluso, aunque estas especies sean susceptibles, no hay ninguna evidencia en la historia de Ecuador de que sean capaces de mantener el virus en estas poblaciones silvestres a pesar de los repetidos brotes de FA que han ocurrido en el país hasta el 2011.

I prefer your first instinct, and would say -- "that these wild populations are capable of maintaining the virus, despite ..."
Danik 2014 Sep 7, 2014:
I prefer your second solution, but I would say:"...that this virus persists".

Second attempt using persist: Indeed, although these species are susceptible, there is no evidence in the history of Ecuador to suggest that this virus can persist in these wild populations. Any confirms/ ideas/ suggestions? Thanks for your help.

capable of "harboring" the virus

When a body has a microorganism inside it, and that body is keeping the invader alive, that body (often called the "host") is said to be '"harboring" the invader.

You might also see the host described as a "carrier" in some contexts.
