IPM Strategy to Control EFB in Apis mellifera: Oxytetracycline Treatment Combined with Partial Shook Swarm and Queen Caging

open access: yesVeterinary Sciences
We tested an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy to control European foulbrood (EFB) in honey bees. Colonies affected by EFB were assigned to two homogenous groups: an oxytetracycline-treated group (1.5 g OTC/hive) that underwent partial shook ...

Microbial investigation on honey bee larvae showing atypical symptoms of European foulbrood

open access: yes, 2015
Culture-dependent and culture-independent techniques were applied to investigate the bacterial communities occurring in 5-6 days-old honey bee larvae (Apis mellifera L.), with evident symptoms of disease and healthy-looking ones. Samples were collected
