Herpes simplex virus 1 is one of the most prevalent pathogens worldwide. Resistant strains to current anti-viral treatment have been reported, requiring search for novel anti-virals. Using a qPCR method assess anti-herpetic activity from natural products, we analyzed 72 plant extracts El Salvador and identified eighteen methanolic with ≥ 75%. Anti-herpetic has not previously reported in fourteen plants (Euphorbia lancifolia, Piper tuberculatum, Cordia alliodora, Tecoma stans, Taraxacum...
There is a growing interest in the development of sustainable alternatives to use chemical pesticides for pest management agricultural systems. This research aimed isolate and characterize native strains Trichoderma spp. from different soils Paraguay using morphological molecular criteria. We processed plant soil samples eight commercial farms distributed departments isolated 14 monosporic isolates spp., obtaining two Department Alto Paraná (FCQ36 FCQ37), four Cordillera (FCQ42, FCQ43,...
