American foulbrood in a honeybee colony: spore-symptom relationship and feedbacks [PDF]
BMC Ecology, 2020 Background The most severe bacterial disease of honeybees is American foulbrood (AFB). The epidemiology of AFB is driven by the extreme spore resilience, the difficulty of bees to remove these spores, and the considerable incidence of undetected spore ...

Using whole genome sequencing to study American foulbrood epidemiology in honeybees. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 American foulbrood (AFB), caused by Paenibacillus larvae, is a devastating disease in honeybees. In most countries, the disease is controlled through compulsory burning of symptomatic colonies causing major economic losses in apiculture.

Role of Honey Bee Gut Microbiota in the Control of American Foulbrood and European Foulbrood Diseases. [PDF]
Arch Razi Inst, 2022 American foulbrood (AFB) and European foulbrood (EFB) are the two most important honey bee brood diseases which impose heavy economic losses to the apiculture industry worldwide by reducing bee population and honey production. Treatment with antibiotics has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, calling for alternative safe treatment ...

Distribution and transmission of American foulbrood in honey bees [PDF]
, 2006 The distribution of Paenibacillus larvae spores, the causative agent of American foulbrood, was studied on three different levels in the honey bee system; the apiary level, the colony level and the individual honey bee level. The increased understanding of spore distribution has been used to give recommendations regarding sampling of adult honey bees ...

Genomic analysis of the population structure of Paenibacillus larvae in New Zealand
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 New Zealand is a remote country in the South Pacific Ocean. The isolation and relatively late arrival of humans into New Zealand has meant there is a recorded history of the introduction of domestic species. Honey bees (Apis mellifera) were introduced to
