Avaliação do extrato etanólico de casca de Punica granatum (romã) na diminuição da replicação viral do BoHV-1 Colorado em embriões murinos experimentalmente infectados** Evaluation of ethanol extract of Punica granatum (Pomegranate) peel decrease in viral replication of BoHV-1 in Colorado murine embryos experimentally infected

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reduction of viral replication (Colorado BoHV-1) in murine embryos after the treatment of ethanol extract of Punica granatum peel (PgEE). Swiss female mice aged 6 to 8 weeks were superovulated with 0.2 mL of the 5 UI hormones (eCG and hCG) and mated with males of the same age. After 18 hours, the females were euthanized in a CO2 chamber, and through the opening in the peritoneum, zygotes were collected and washed with 0.5% pronase solution. The zygotes were divided into four groups: G 1 (control), G 2 (exposed to the virus Colorado BoHV -1 to 10 8 TCID 50 /mL), G 3
