Molecular Ecology Resources, 2015 AbstractThe honeybee, Apis mellifera, is the world's most important pollinator and is ubiquitous in most agricultural ecosystems. Four major evolutionary lineages and at least 24 subspecies are recognized. Commercial populations are mainly derived from subspecies originating in Europe (75–95%). The Africanized honeybee is a New World hybrid of A.

A clinical trial protocol to treat massive Africanized honeybee (Apis mellifera) attack with a new apilic antivenom [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2017 Background Envenomation caused by multiple stings from Africanized honeybees Apis mellifera constitutes a public health problem in the Americas. In 2015, the Brazilian Ministry of Health reported 13,597 accidents (incidence of seven cases per 100,000 ...

Lesions caused by Africanized honeybee stings in three cattle in Brazil [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2013 We report three cases of stings by Africanized bees in cattle in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Erythema, subcutaneous edema, necrosis accompanied by skin detachment, and subsequent skin regeneration were observed, especially on the head and dewlap.

Polymorphisms in mitochondrial DNA of european and Africanized honeybees (Apis mellifera) [PDF]
Experientia, 1988 This study demonstrates polymorphisms in both the length and in the restriction enzyme cleavage sites of honeybee mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The levels of variation are typical of those found in other metazoan species. These polymorphisms are potentially useful for the identification of Africanized bees in the western hemisphere and for study of ...

Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society, 2023 Pheromones are essential for colony organization in honeybees. The pheromones 9-ODA ((E)-9-oxodec-2-enoic acid) and 9-HDA ((E)-9-hydroxydec-2-enoic acid), produced by the mandibular gland of the queen, have various functions within the colony, including ...
