Determination of the Incubation Period of Bacillus larvae White, Causal Organism of American Foulbrood in Honey Bees (A pis mellifera L.) [PDF]

, 1953
Diseases of the immature stages of the honey bee, i.e. the brood, cause large annual losses in bees, honey, and equipment. It would be bad enough if such losses were reflected only in the increased cost of producing honey, but far more serious is the ...

A Mathematical Model of Intra-Colony Spread of American Foulbrood in European Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.).

PLoS ONE, 2015
American foulbrood (AFB) is one of the severe infectious diseases of European honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) and other Apis species. This disease is caused by a gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae.

Pathogenesis, Epidemiology and Variants of Melissococcus plutonius (Ex White), the Causal Agent of European Foulbrood

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2020
The bacterium Melissococcus plutonius is the etiologic agent of the European foulbrood (EFB), one of the most harmful bacterial diseases that causes the larvae of bees to have an intestinal infection.

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 ...

The Honeybee Disease American Foulbrood — An African Perspective [PDF]

African Entomology, 2011
Sustaining apiculture worldwide has been threatened by bee diseases and unexplained colony losses. African honeybee populations seem healthier and no major losses have been reported despite the presence of all the major pests and diseases. The scattered colonies in the large wild population of the continent might ensure slow pathogen spread and thus ...

Ecology and Pathogenicity for Honey Bee Brood of Recently Described Paenibacillus melissococcoides and Comparison With Paenibacillus dendritiformis, Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Honey bee colonies contain thousands of individuals living in close proximity in a thermally homeostatic nest, creating ideal conditions for the thriving of numerous pathogens. Among the bacterial pathogens, Paenibacillus larvae infects larvae via the nutritive jelly that adult workers feed them, causing the highly contagious American ...

Environmental DNA Methods for Detection of Varroa destructor in Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Hives

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
The parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, is a worldwide problem for honey bees (Apis mellifera). Using a new species‐specific qPCR assay, we assessed the detection of V. destructor eDNA collected in honey and surface swabs from managed bee hives in Australia, where V. destructor has recently invaded, and in New Zealand, where V. destructor is established.

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 ...
