Abstract | ||||
This study investigates the antiviral potential of Propolis-pollen nanoemulsion (PP-NE) against four major poultry viruses: H5N8 avian influenza (H5), Newcastle disease virus (NDV), infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), and infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). PP-Ne were prepared using a phase titration approach and registered under Egyptian Academy of Scientific Research number EG/P/2024/653. The nanoparticles were characterized by LC-MS/MS and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), revealing a spherical shape with an average size of 13.34±2.102 nm. The cytotoxicity assessment using Vero cells and Sulforhodamine B (SRB) stain indicated an IC50 of 23.19 μg/mL. Phenolic compounds, including curcumadiol and methyl oleate, were identified as key components.To assess the antiviral efficacy, virus-nanoparticle mixtures were incubated at 37°C for 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours before inoculating specific pathogen-free embryonated chicken eggs (SPF-ECE). Viral activity was monitored using real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) tests. The results demonstrated significant inhibition of viral replication for all tested viruses. H5N8 after 8 hours (p = 0.009), IBDV after 24 hours (p = 0.002192), NDV after 4 hours (p = 0.004106), and IBV showed complete inhibition after 24 hours (p = 0.000255) .These findings highlight the potential of PP-NE as an effective antiviral agent in veterinary medicine, warranting further research into their application for controlling viral infections in poultry. | ||||
