Efficacy of natural propolis extract in the control of American Foulbrood

Veterinary Microbiology, 2008
Paenibacillus larvae is the causative agent of American Foulbrood (AFB), a severe disease that affects larvae of the honeybees. Due to the serious effects associated with AFB and the problems related to the use of antibiotics, it is necessary to develop alternative strategies for the control of the disease.

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 ...

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 (AFB) is one of the most important infections affecting all life stages of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) brood. It is a infection that can be seen at any time of the year when honey bee brood is present. The causative agent of the disease is Paenibacillus larvae (P.larvae), a spore-forming.

Observations on the Purported Resistance of the Honeybee to American Foulbrood

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1941
It is not uncommon for a beekeeper to observe in a colony the presence of one or two cells of what appears to be American foulbrood and on the next examination discover that the cells have apparently been cleaned of all visible remains of the disease. In a majority of such cases, the disease will appear at a later date with greater severity while in a ...
