An antiviral factor from Melia azedarach L. prevents Tacaribe virus encephalitis in mice

Treatment of neonatal mice with an antiviral factor, (AVF), obtained from the leaves of Melia azederach L. protected them against lethal encephalitis caused by Tacaribe virus inoculation. The degree of protection obtained varied from 66% to 100% depending on the virus dose. Similarly, administration...
