A Comparison of Different Matrices for the Laboratory Diagnosis of the Epizootic American Foulbrood of Honey Bees. [PDF]
Simple Summary American Foulbrood is a bacterial disease of honey bee larvae caused by the spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae. It is a notifiable epizootic in most countries because it is highly contagious and lethal to affected colonies.
