The present study investigates the efficacy of AnvirzelTM, an extract of Nerium oleander, in more than 35 different human cancer cell lines, including all the types of tumours. Assays that have been used in order to measure the efficacy of AnvirzelTM in 24, 48 and 72h of incubation in 37 different cancer cell lines, were viability assays [Methyl-Tetrazolium dye (MTT), Crystal violet staining (C...

Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a Gram-negative plant bacterium that causes severe diseases affecting several economically important crops in many countries. To achieve early detection of the pathogen, droplet digital PCR (ddPCR)-based approach was used to detect at low concentrations different species and insect vectors. In this study, we implemented reaction conditions previously developed ddPCR a...
