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 ...

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

In vitro and in vivo susceptibility of the honey bee bacterial pathogen Paenibacillus larvae subsp larvae to the antibiotic tylosin [PDF]
, 2005 The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of tylosin were determined to 67 strains of Paenibacillus larvae subsp. larvae, the causal agent of American Foulbrood (AFB) disease, from different geographical origins. MIC values obtained ranged from 0.0078
