‘Disease‐smart’ outcrossing can enhance individual fitness and increase survival via immune priming against pathogens: New approaches to strengthen genetic rescue efforts

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 5, Page 786-797, September 2025.
Our study provides a proof of concept for combining immune priming with assisted migration for insect conservation. Introducing genetically diverse, immune‐primed migrants improves both pathogen resistance and reproductive success in inbred individuals.

Landscape‐Wide Metabarcoding Shows Interactions Among the Gut Microbiome and Pollen Diversity in the Invasive Bumblebee, Bombus terrestris

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
The study examines how environmental factors and dietary diversity influence the gut microbiome of the invasive European buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) in Tasmania. We found that gut bacterial composition and diversity were significantly affected by annual precipitation, pasture percentage, temperature and interactions between pollen ...

Ecology and Pathogenicity for Honey Bee Brood of Recently Described Paenibacillus melissococcoides and Comparison With Paenibacillus dendritiformis, Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Honey bee colonies contain thousands of individuals living in close proximity in a thermally homeostatic nest, creating ideal conditions for the thriving of numerous pathogens. Among the bacterial pathogens, Paenibacillus larvae infects larvae via the nutritive jelly that adult workers feed them, causing the highly contagious American ...

Pharmacological approach to control American foulbrood of honeybees.

Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 1997
In this review, I will describe honeybee biology from my prospective as a veterinary pharmacologist and will provide a summary of my research project to search for effective drugs to control American foulbrood, a bacterial disease of honeybees. In conclusion, mirosamicin, a macrolide antibiotic, as a preventive and glutaral, an alkylating agent, as a ...

Environmental DNA Methods for Detection of Varroa destructor in Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Hives

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
The parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, is a worldwide problem for honey bees (Apis mellifera). Using a new species‐specific qPCR assay, we assessed the detection of V. destructor eDNA collected in honey and surface swabs from managed bee hives in Australia, where V. destructor has recently invaded, and in New Zealand, where V. destructor is established.
