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 />
