Comparison between Antiviral Effect of Mexican Propolis and Three Commercial Flavonoids against Canine Distemper Virus.

Propolis is a resin that honey bees () produce by mixing wax, exudates collected from tree shoots, pollen, and enzymes. It has been used for its biological properties against pathogenic microorganisms including those of viral origin. In the present study, we demonstrate the antiviral effect of Mexican propolis, as well as of the three commercial flavonoids (quercetin, naringenin, and pinocembrin) present in its composition, in cell cultures infected with Canine Distemper Virus.
