By Kyle J. Norton


Infectious diseases are disorders induced by organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites.

Out of trillions organism present on the earth, only a few hundreds have been known to cause diseases.

Most infectious diseases are passed from person to person through direct or indirect contact with the infected patient. Others can be transmitted by insects or animals.

However, infectious disease, the most prevalence in third world countries are acquired by ingesting contaminated food or water.

Infectious diseases share the common symptoms of fever, diarrhea, muscle aches, coughing, fatigue similar to those of influenza. Other symptoms are totally depending on the types of organisms including bacteria, and virus.

A viral infection is a disease caused by the successful entering and multiplying of a virus in the body.

Anti-viral effects are an act of certain substances to cause the destruction of a virus.

In the acute phase of viral infection, depending on the types of viruses, the viruses after entering the body start to attack the specific host cells. The cold and flu virus will attack the cells in the respiratory system and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, will attack the white blood cells of the immune system,

The viral infection o\has been known to carry over some different stage, after successfully attaching to the host cell, the virus to release its mRNA into the host cell, leading to the recruit of the host cell's enzymes to accelerate the viral multiplying, then breaking free from the host cell to start the cycle all over again.

Fig is a species of F. Carica, belonging to the family Moraceae. It is a deciduous shrub, native to Southeast Asia. The tree can grow to a height of 33 ft and the fruit can be as large as 2.0 inches.

On finding natural compounds for the treatment of infectious diseases, researchers examined the latex of fig fruit (Ficus carica) on skin infections with the possible viral origin.

According to the tested differentiation of 5 extracts (methanolic, hexanoic, ethyl acetate, hexane-ethyl acetate (v/v) and chloroformic) for their antiviral potential activity against herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1), echovirus type 11 (ECV-11) and adenovirus (ADV) in vitro, the hexanoic and hexane-ethyl acetate (v/v) extracts inhibited multiplication of viruses at concentrations of 78 µg mL(-1).

Furthermore, these two extracts were possible candidates as herbal medicines for herpes virus, echovirus, and adenovirus infectious diseases.

Most importantly, all extracts had no cytotoxic effect on Vero cells at all tested concentrations.

Taken altogether, common fig or fig (Ficus carica)  may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of viral infection, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
