Detection of American Foulbrood in a Bee Family from Timiş County

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
It seems that after information media lately have been detected more cases of American foulbrood in our country, but this is not yet known by the beekeepers. In November 2013 a beekeeper brought laboratory six dead bees and portions of honeycomb, because

Paenibacillus larvae Bacteremia in Injection Drug Users

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
Paenibacillus larvae causes American foulbrood in honey bees. We describe P. larvae bacteremia in 5 injection drug users who had self-injected honey-prepared methadone proven to contain P. larvae spores.

Wake Up and Smell the Infected Bees: Volatile Cues of Vairimorpha Infection in Honey Bees

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Infection can modify host volatile emissions, yet effects in adult honey bees remain unexplored. Using dynamic headspace sampling and GC × GC–MS, we show that Vairimorpha spp. infection significantly alters the volatile profile of adult worker honey bees over a 14‐day time series, producing stage‐specific shifts in multivariate odour structure.

Inducible versus constitutive social immunity: examining effects of colony infection on glucose oxidase and defensin-1 production in honeybees [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Honeybees use a variety of defence mechanisms to reduce disease infection and spread throughout the colony. Many of these defences rely on the collective action of multiple individuals to prevent, reduce or eradicate pathogens—often referred to as ...

Microbial Pressure and Social Immunity: Bumble Bees Increase Brood Hygiene After Exposure to a Bacillus thuringiensis‐Based Biopesticide

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In social insect colonies, diseased or dead brood is identified and removed by workers to prevent the infection of the whole colony. Here, bumble bee larvae exposed to a bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. aizawai (strain: ABTS‐1857)) based biopesticide were removed more frequently than wounded or untreated control larvae. This shows that bumble bee

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Characterization of Potential Risk Pathways for African Swine Fever Introduction Into Brazil

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
African swine fever (ASF) poses a serious threat to global swine production, and its reintroduction into Brazil, the world’s third‐largest pork exporter, would have severe socioeconomic consequences. This study characterized the potential risk pathways for ASF introduction in Brazil by analyzing three key aspects: seizure of informally imported animal ...
