Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the virucidal efficacy of tea tree oil (TTO) on poliovirus (PV). Methods According to the Technical Standard For Disinfection, the PV-inactivating capacity of TTO was objectively detected by cell infection method before and after treatment of the virus with different concentrations of TTO. Results A 4.33 log10 titre reduction and a 5.5 log10 titre reduction of PV could be obtained with 0.5% TTO for 40 and 60 min, respectively; and a 5.33 log10 titre reduction and a 5.5 log10 titre reduction could be obtained with 1.0% TTO for 40 and 60 min, respectively. Conclusion TTO has obvious inactivating effect on PV in vitro.
