Novel use of Quillaja saponaria extracts to prevent viral infections in Atlantic salmon: in vitro ISAv and IPNv inhibition and in vivo protection against IPNv

Key Points

Quillaja saponaria extracts demonstrate significant inhibition of viral infections in both in vitro and in vivo settings.
In vitro assays reveal that extracts effectively inhibit ISAv and IPNv, which are harmful to salmon populations.
Observational analysis of Atlantic salmon shows promising results in reducing infections using natural extracts.
Adopting these extracts may enhance environmentally friendly practices in aquaculture, supporting industry sustainability.

Abstract

These findings indicate that Quillaja saponaria extracts may be used as effective, natural, non-pharmacological additives to prevent diseases caused by these viruses. Their use supports the development of sustainable and environmentally responsible disease-management strategies in modern aquaculture.
