Lactic acid bacteria in Swedish honey bees during outbreaks of American foulbrood [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The honey bee microbiota is involved in several important functions, and alterations in the composition could have a severe effect on honey bee health.

Standard methods for American foulbrood research [PDF]

Journal of Apicultural Research, 2013
Summary American foulbrood is one of the most devastating diseases of the honey bee. It is caused by the spore-forming, Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium Paenibacillus larvae. The recent updated genome assembly and annotation for this pathogen now permits in-depth molecular studies.

First detection of Paenibacillus larvae the causative agent of American Foulbrood in a Ugandan honeybee colony. [PDF]

Springerplus, 2016
Paenibacillus larvae is a highly contagious and often lethal widely distributed pathogen of honeybees, Apis mellifera but has not been reported in eastern Africa to date. We investigated the presence of P.

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.

How Science Supports Honey Bees: Identification of Research on Best Practices in Beekeeping [PDF]

Insects
Honey bee health and productivity are strongly linked to management practices and biosecurity measures. We collected and analyzed 744 practice records from 191 peer-reviewed field studies published since 1995, each documenting the impact of a specific ...

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 ...

Identification and Treatment of European Foulbrood in Honey Bee Colonies

EDIS, 2020
European foulbrood is a bacterial disease that affects Western honey bee larvae. It is a concern to beekeepers everywhere, though it is less serious than American foulbrood because it does not form spores, which means that it can be treated. This 7-page

Variation in honey bee gut microbial diversity affected by ontogenetic stage, age and geographic location [PDF]

, 2015
Social honey bees, Apis mellifera, host a set of distinct microbiota, which is similar across the continents and various honey bee species. Some of these bacteria, such as lactobacilli, have been linked to immunity and defence against pathogens. Pathogen

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

Detection of Paenibacillus larvae spores in honey by conventional PCR and its potential for American foulbrood control [PDF]

Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2019
The present study attempted to detect Paenibacillus larvae spores in naturally contaminated honeys by conventional PCR and to determine the sensitivity of the reaction with different primer pairs in order to assess its potential for American foulbrood ...
