Recommendation I have always seen is quarter pint per box.

80% acetic is effective against everything (on combs) except AFB, but there 
may be a small risk that EFB could be sealed under wax or propolis and thus 
escape the treatment.  For light EFB the shook swarm treatment seems the 
most promising, with burning probably the best option with heavy infections.
