Table 2.
Mean abundance of N. ceranae copies detected with the two qPCR methods in the samples collected pre-treatment from the experimental colonies. As data covered various orders of magnitude, for ease of reading, logarithmic representation was adopted. Standard error of means (s.e.) and standard deviations (SD) are shown also.
