American Foulbrood in honeybees and its causative agent, Paenibacillus larvae

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2010
After more than a century of American Foulbrood (AFB) research, this fatal brood infection is still among the most deleterious bee diseases. Its etiological agent is the Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae. Huge progress has been made, especially in the last 20 years, in the understanding of the disease and of the underlying ...

American foulbrood in honey bees

Bee World, 2001
In recent years, one of the major problems hampering the development of apiculture is the disease American foulbrood (AFB). In this article, AFB is reviewed in detail, including its detection and diagnosis, prevention and control. Paenibacillus larvae larvae, the causative agent of the disease, is also examined. Products of P. I.

The Proteases of American Foulbrood Scales

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1997
The gross protease activity of pathological samples of American foulbrood-infected cadavers from several UK sources was studied. In all cases the bulk of the activity is caused by neutral protease(s) (optimum pH ca. 6.8) that are inhibited by chelating agents such as EDTA and 1,10 phenanthroline (indicating metalloproteases) but not by inhibitors of ...

Screening additional antibiotics for efficacy against American foulbrood

Journal of Apicultural Research, 2005
SUMMARYThe sensitivity of Paenibacillus larvae larvae (American foulbrood, AFB) to 35 antibiotics and synthetic antimicrobials, including two previously reported, was investigated. All compounds but one are currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for agricultural uses.

American foulbrood: a review of its biology, diagnosis and control

Bee World, 1999
American foulbrood (AFB) is a severe bacterial brood disease of honey bees. AFB is lethal to bee colonies if treatment is not carried out. The disease is distributed worldwide and can cause substantial economic losses. Foulbrood was first described in 1769 and although AFB has been in focus for decades it has recently become an increasing problem.

American Foulbrood in Uruguay: Twelve years from its first report

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2012
Paenibacillus larvae is the causative agent of American Foulbrood (AFB), a deleterious disease that affects honeybees. In Uruguay it was first reported in 1999. In 2001 the bacterium was spread all over the country, and its prevalence in honey was estimated in 51%. Two P.

Paenibacillus larvae and American foulbrood in honeybees.

Berliner und Munchener tierarztliche Wochenschrift, 2007
American foulbrood, a globally spread bacterial disease of honeybee brood, is one of the most deleterious bee diseases. Its etiological agent is the gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae. This review will focus on recent achievements in the study of Paenibacillus larvae brought about by molecular methods introduced into the field ...
