Inhibition of plaque development assay. A. arborescens essential oil was applied 3 h post-infection on monolayer of Vero cells infected with 100 PFU of HSV-2. As observed with HSV-1 infected cells, A. arborescens induced a concentration-dependent reduction of plaque development at 48, 72 and 96 h post-infection. The data represent the means for three replicates of three separate experiments.
