Optimal Concentration of Organic Solvents to be Used in the Broth Microdilution Method to Determine the Antimicrobial Activity of Natural Products Against Paenibacillus Larvae [PDF]

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2017
American Foulbrood (AFB) is a bacterial disease, caused by Paenibacillus larvae, that affects honeybees (Apis mellifera). Alternative strategies to control AFB are based on the treatment of the beehives with antimicrobial natural substances such as ...

American Foulbrood – well known and still unknown

Bulgarian Journal of Animal Husbandry
American Foulbrood is one of the most distributed and deadly diseases of honeybee colonies. Despite being known for centuries some aspects of the disease are still not well understood. In the present review the current knowledge about etiology, pathogenesis, prophylactics and control of American Foulbrood are systemized and generalized.

Bacterial Agents for Biocontrol of American Foulbrood (AFB) of Larvae Honey Bee

Microbiology Research
Bee colonies are constantly threatened by a bacterial larvae disease called American foulbrood, caused by the Gram-positive bacterium Paenibacillus larvae. This is a highly specialized pathogen with only one established host, the honey bee larvae.
