Extracts of Talaromyces purpureogenus Strains from Apis mellifera Bee Bread Inhibit the Growth of Paenibacillus spp. In Vitro

Microorganisms, 2023
Honey bees coexist with fungi that colonize hive surfaces and pollen. Some of these fungi are opportunistic pathogens, but many are beneficial species that produce antimicrobial compounds for pollen conservation and the regulation of pathogen populations.

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Characterization of Potential Risk Pathways for African Swine Fever Introduction Into Brazil

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
African swine fever (ASF) poses a serious threat to global swine production, and its reintroduction into Brazil, the world’s third‐largest pork exporter, would have severe socioeconomic consequences. This study characterized the potential risk pathways for ASF introduction in Brazil by analyzing three key aspects: seizure of informally imported animal ...

American Foulbrood in the Czech Republic: ERIC II Genotype of Paenibacillus Larvae Is Prevalent

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
American foulbrood (AFB) is a dangerous disease of honeybees (Apis mellifera) caused by the spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae. According to the ERIC (enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus) classification, five genotypes are ...

Honey Bee Colony Health in Thiamethoxam‐Treated Sugar Beet Fields: A Field‐Based Case Study

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Using multi‐site field trials during Germany's 2021 emergency authorization of thiamethoxam‐treated sugar beet, we combined colony demography and residue analyses with complementary worker survival assays to characterize honey bee exposure under realistic conditions.

Honey Bee Pathogen Prevalence and Interactions within the Marmara Region of Turkey

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
Beekeeping has yet to reach its full potential in terms of productivity in Turkey where it has a relatively large role in the economy. Poor colony health is suspected to be the reason for this, but comprehensive disease monitoring programs are lacking to

Molecular Surveillance of Honey Bee Hives Using eDNA Metabarcoding During Pollination Season

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Healthy honey bees are critical in safeguarding our food supply, but monitoring their health may present a significant challenge. Here, we used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding on bee hive debris and detected species of arthropods, bacteria and fungi contributing to form the bee hive environment, including hive pests and pathogens as well as hive

Landscape‐Wide Metabarcoding Shows Interactions Among the Gut Microbiome and Pollen Diversity in the Invasive Bumblebee, Bombus terrestris

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
The study examines how environmental factors and dietary diversity influence the gut microbiome of the invasive European buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) in Tasmania. We found that gut bacterial composition and diversity were significantly affected by annual precipitation, pasture percentage, temperature and interactions between pollen ...
