SURVEY OF AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN FOULBROOD DISEASE ON HONEY BEE COLONIES IN DAKAHLIA GOVERNORATE. [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2012
It is essential that beekeepers are able to recognize the diseses and distinguish them from foul brood. Survey was carried out in four districts of Dakahlia governorate (Mansura, Metghamer, Al-Met salsil and Bilqas) from Sept 2009 to Aug2011.

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

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.

Identification and Treatment of European Foulbrood in Honey Bee Colonies

EDIS, 2020
European foulbrood is a bacterial disease that affects Western honey bee larvae. It is a concern to beekeepers everywhere, though it is less serious than American foulbrood because it does not form spores, which means that it can be treated. This 7-page

Probiotics and postbiotics: a promising prophylactic measure for American foulbrood and European foulbrood diseases of honey bees. [PDF]

Vet Res Forum
American foulbrood (AFB) and European foulbrood (EFB) diseases caused by Paenibacillus larvae and Meliscococcus plutonius are prevalent honeybee brood diseases that pose significant economic challenges to the apiculture industry globally. Antibiotic treatment has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, encouraging the search for ...

Comparative Genomics and Description of Putative Virulence Factors of Melissococcus plutonius, the Causative Agent of European Foulbrood Disease in Honey Bees. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2018
In Europe, approximately 84% of cultivated crop species depend on insect pollinators, mainly bees. Apis mellifera (the Western honey bee) is the most important commercial pollinator worldwide. The Gram-positive bacterium Melissococcus plutonius is the causative agent of European foulbrood (EFB), a global honey bee brood disease.

Virulence Associated Morphology of Different Strains of Melissococcus plutonius, a Brood Pathogen of Honey Bees. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
This study explores the diversity in cell morphology and growth behaviours of three Melissococcus plutonius strains, the causative agent of European foulbrood, employing electron microscopy and expression analysis of glycan‐binding protein candidate genes. Our results illustrate the mechanism of cell separation and the formation of individual cocci and

Wake Up and Smell the Infected Bees: Volatile Cues of <i>Vairimorpha</i> Infection in Honey Bees. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Infection can modify host volatile emissions, yet effects in adult honey bees remain unexplored. Using dynamic headspace sampling and GC × GC–MS, we show that Vairimorpha spp. infection significantly alters the volatile profile of adult worker honey bees over a 14‐day time series, producing stage‐specific shifts in multivariate odour structure.
