Adoption of Partial Shook Swarm in the Integrated Control of American and European Foulbrood of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.)

Agriculture, 2023
American foulbrood (AFB) and European foulbrood (EFB) are the two most important bacterial diseases that affect honey bee brood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an integrated treatment of AFB and EFB in naturally infected colonies in

Osmia cornuta Is a More Suitable Managed Pollinator for Cherry and Apple Orchards Than Osmia bicornis

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 524-535, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Managed crop pollination strongly relies on the honeybee Apis mellifera and the bumblebee Bombus terrestris, which is risky, may impact wild pollinator communities and does not always give the best pollination outcomes. The mason bees Osmia cornuta and Osmia bicornis are increasingly used as alternative crop pollinators, but it is not clear ...

The smell of infection: Disease surveillance in insects using volatile organic compounds

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 81-89, February 2025.
Abstract Insects play crucial roles in nearly every ecosystem and provide a wide array of ecosystem services. However, both managed and wild insect populations face threats from parasites and pathogens, which require surveillance to mitigate. Current infectious disease surveillance methods for insects often involve invasive, time‐consuming and ...

What proteomics has taught us about honey bee (Apis mellifera) health and disease

PROTEOMICS, Volume 25, Issue 1-2, January 2025.
Abstract The Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, is currently navigating a gauntlet of environmental pressures, including the persistent threat of parasites, pathogens, and climate change – all of which compromise the vitality of honey bee colonies.

Pathogen and Hemocyte Dynamics in Three Apiaries Across a Bee Season

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Honey bees are dying due to a disease complex consisting of viruses, parasites, chemicals, nutritional deficiencies, and management problems. In the present study, pathogens and hemocytes were analyzed in honey bee hemolymph samples using third‐generation sequencing and flow cytometry in three apiaries over a honey bee season. Using nanopore sequencing,

Complete genome sequence of the broad-host-range Paenibacillus larvae phage phiIBB_Pl23 [PDF]

, 2013
Paenibacillus larvae is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes American foulbrood, an important disease in apiculture. We report the first complete genome sequence of a P. larvae phage, phiIBB_Pl23, isolated from a hive in northern Portugal.

Diagnostic study on major honeybee disease, pests and predators in North Western Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 5, September 2024.
Pests and predators are causing 55.8% of colony dwindling, 19.7% of absconding, 13.2% of death and 11.4% of honey loss in Pawe, Jawi and Fagita Lekoma districts. Abstract Background The study was conducted in Pawe district from Benishangul‐Gumuz and Jawi and Fagita Lekoma districts from the Amhara region to investigate major honeybee pests, predators ...

Pharmacological approach to control American foulbrood of honeybees.

Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 1997
In this review, I will describe honeybee biology from my prospective as a veterinary pharmacologist and will provide a summary of my research project to search for effective drugs to control American foulbrood, a bacterial disease of honeybees. In conclusion, mirosamicin, a macrolide antibiotic, as a preventive and glutaral, an alkylating agent, as a ...

Understanding bacterial pathogen diversity: A proteogenomic analysis and use of an array of genome assemblies to identify novel virulence factors of the honey bee bacterial pathogen Paenibacillus larvae

PROTEOMICS, Volume 24, Issue 14, July 2024.
Abstract Mass spectrometry proteomics data are typically evaluated against publicly available annotated sequences, but the proteogenomics approach is a useful alternative. A single genome is commonly utilized in custom proteomic and proteogenomic data analysis.
