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

Honeybee Colony Vibrational Measurements to Highlight the Brood Cycle [PDF]

, 2015
Insect pollination is of great importance to crop production worldwide and honey bees are amongst its chief facilitators. Because of the decline of managed colonies, the use of sensor technology is growing in popularity and it is of interest to develop ...

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 ...

Powdered Sugar Examination as a Tool for the Assessment of Paenibacillus larvae Infection Levels in Honey Bee Colonies

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
American Foulbrood (AFB) is a contagious and severe brood disease of honey bees caused by the spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae. The identification of honey bee colonies infected by P. larvae is crucial for the effective control of AFB.

The First Paenibacillus larvae Bacteriophage Endolysin (PlyPl23) with High Potential to Control American Foulbrood. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Endolysins, which are peptidoglycan-degrading enzymes expressed during the terminal stage of the reproduction cycle of bacteriophages, have great potential to control Gram-positive pathogens. This work describes the characterization of a novel endolysin (

A Probe-Based qPCR Method, Targeting 16S rRNA Gene, for the Quantification of Paenibacillus larvae Spores in Powdered Sugar Samples

Applied Sciences, 2022
Paenibacillus larvae (P. larvae) is responsible for American foulbrood (AFB), the most severe bacterial disease of honeybees. The enumeration of P. larvae spores in substrates taken from hives allows for the identification of the contamination levels of ...
