Effects of A. arborescens essential oil on plaque formation by HSV-1 and HSV-2. About 250 PFU of HSV-1 (black circle) or HSV-2 (black square) were pre-incubated for 1 h at 37°C in the presence of serial dilutions of essential oil and then adsorbed on Vero cells. A. arborescens showed a 50% inhibition of plaque formation respect to the controls at 2.4 μg/ml and a 80% inhibition at 5.6 μg/ml, while against HSV-2 a 50% and 80% were observed at 4.1 μg/ml and 7.3 μg/ml, respectively. The data represent the means for five replicate samples of three separate experiments.
