Nisin A Treatment to Protect Honey Bee Larvae from European Foulbrood Disease. [PDF]

Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins
Abstract European foulbrood (EFB) is a bee larvae-specific infectious disease and the causative pathogen is Melissococcus plutonius. Broad-spectrum antibiotics have classically been used in many countries to control the pathogens; however, their use in apiaries was discontinued in several countries due to concerns regarding the health of bees

Development and validation of a novel field test kit for European foulbrood [PDF]

Apidologie, 2008
European foulbrood (EFB) is a serious and widespread disease of honey bee larvae. It is a notifiable disease in the United Kingdom under existing legislation, so colonies must be officially screened for signs of disease. The current study developed a rapid and sensitive test to diagnose EFB in the field.

Epidemiological study for detection of the main and secondary agents of European foulbrood disease in the apiaries of Iran. [PDF]

Vet Res Forum
Infecting to Melissococcus plutonius, the primary cause of the European foulbrood (EFB) disease, can be followed by infecting to the secondary bacteria, such as Enterococcus faecalis and Brevibacillus laterosporus. The aim of this research was to diagnose EFB disease by tracking the causes of the disease in apiaries all over Iran.
