Effect of the Pesticide Carbaryl on Replication of Human and Simian Varicella Viruses

Nathalie J Schmidt 1
PMCID: PMC348121  PMID: 6301995

Abstract

Pretreatment of host cells with carbaryl delayed the early spread of simian and human varicella virus infections. Toward the end of the growth cycle there was an apparent enhancement of infection, since treated cultures showed more infectious centers than did untreated ones in which infectivity had reached maximum levels and then declined.
