Microsporidian Nosema spp. as a model gastrointestinal microorganism of Carniolan honey bee (Apis mellifera carnica, Pollman, 1879): Aspects of spore counting [PDF]
At high invasion levels, nosemosis can act as an underlying cause of colony collapse disorder, especially in cases of simultaneous invasion of other parasites or/and in combination with virus infections. Rapid quantitative methods for Nosema spp.

Abstract Proteins are under selection to maintain central functions and to accommodate needs that arise in ever‐changing environments. The positive selection and neutral drift that preserve functions result in a diversity of protein variants. The amount of diversity differs between proteins: multifunctional or disease‐related proteins tend to have ...

Abstract The European Commission has asked the EFSA to evaluate the risk for animal health related to the presence of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in honey bee feed. HMF is a degradation product of particular sugars and can be present in bee feed. HMF is of low acute toxicity in bees but causes increased mortality upon chronic exposure. A benchmark dose

The role of insect pollinators in avocado production: A global review
Abstract Insect pollination increases the yield and quality of many crops and therefore, understanding the role of insect pollinators in crop production is necessary to sustainably increase yields. Avocado Persea americana benefits from insect pollination, however, a better understanding of the role of pollinators and their contribution to the ...
