Inhibitory properties of crude microalgal extracts on the in vitro replication of cyprinid herpesvirus 3

Abstract Microalgae are possible sources of antiviral substances, e.g. against cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3). Although this virus leads to high mortalities in aquacultures, there is no treatment available yet. Hence, ethanolic extracts produced with accelerated solvent extraction from six microalg...
