Hypothesis-generating for essential oils as norovirus sanitizers; prospective human studies needed before clinical adoption.
Gilling et al. (2014) studied Murine norovirus (MNV). Allspice oil, lemongrass oil, and citral was evaluated on Reduction in viral infectivity (p=≤ 0.05). Allspice oil, lemongrass oil, and citral significantly reduced murine norovirus infectivity by up to 3.41 log10 at 24 hours (P ≤ 0.05), demonstrating varied mechanisms of viral inactivation.
