The Honeybee Disease American Foulbrood — An African Perspective [PDF]
Sustaining apiculture worldwide has been threatened by bee diseases and unexplained colony losses. African honeybee populations seem healthier and no major losses have been reported despite the presence of all the major pests and diseases. The scattered colonies in the large wild population of the continent might ensure slow pathogen spread and thus ...

ABSTRACT Managed crop pollination strongly relies on the honeybee Apis mellifera and the bumblebee Bombus terrestris, which is risky, may impact wild pollinator communities and does not always give the best pollination outcomes. The mason bees Osmia cornuta and Osmia bicornis are increasingly used as alternative crop pollinators, but it is not clear ...

The smell of infection: Disease surveillance in insects using volatile organic compounds
Abstract Insects play crucial roles in nearly every ecosystem and provide a wide array of ecosystem services. However, both managed and wild insect populations face threats from parasites and pathogens, which require surveillance to mitigate. Current infectious disease surveillance methods for insects often involve invasive, time‐consuming and ...

Pathogen and Hemocyte Dynamics in Three Apiaries Across a Bee Season
Honey bees are dying due to a disease complex consisting of viruses, parasites, chemicals, nutritional deficiencies, and management problems. In the present study, pathogens and hemocytes were analyzed in honey bee hemolymph samples using third‐generation sequencing and flow cytometry in three apiaries over a honey bee season. Using nanopore sequencing,

Diagnostic study on major honeybee disease, pests and predators in North Western Ethiopia
Pests and predators are causing 55.8% of colony dwindling, 19.7% of absconding, 13.2% of death and 11.4% of honey loss in Pawe, Jawi and Fagita Lekoma districts. Abstract Background The study was conducted in Pawe district from Benishangul‐Gumuz and Jawi and Fagita Lekoma districts from the Amhara region to investigate major honeybee pests, predators ...
