MNCC = Maximal non cytotoxic concentration. += viral inhibition index 1.5.<br />
and SuHV-1, and other viruses of the Herpesviridae<br />
family may have a spectrum of action directed for this<br />
family. On the other hand, plants that presented activity<br />
for only one of viruses and/or were negative for the other<br />
family members would have a mechanism more specific<br />
for each virus. Plants that presented activity against both<br />
animal herpesviruses are promising as antiviral<br />
components source.<br />
