A preliminary study on in vitro evaluation of antiviral properties of bird nest extract against animal coronavirus

Bird’s nest has become a commodity in Peninsular Malaysia and other regions in South East Asia. The nest is made up of the bird’s saliva during nesting. There are several common species of swiftlet such as the Aerodramus fuciphagus, Aerodramus maximus and Apus pacificus. Malaysia is the second large...
