Synthesis, Characterization and in Vitro Antibacterial Activities of CdO Nanoparticle and Nano-sheet Mixed-ligand of Cadmium(ІІ) Complex [PDF]

Nanochemistry Research, 2016
Here, we report the synthesis of a Schiff-base mixed-ligand complex of cadmium(ІІ) in bulk and nano-scales via the precipitation and sonochemical methods, respectively. The complex formula is [Cd(3-bpdh)(3-bpdb)Cl2]n (1), where the ligands are 3-bpdh = 2,

Peritrophic matrix-degrading proteins are dispensable virulence factors in a virulent Melissococcus plutonius strain

Scientific Reports, 2021
European foulbrood (EFB) caused by Melissococcus plutonius is a major bacterial disease of honey bees. Strains of the causative agent exhibit genetic heterogeneity, and the degree of virulence varies among strains.

Characterization of Five Novel Brevibacillus Bacteriophages and Genomic Comparison of Brevibacillus Phages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Brevibacillus laterosporus is a spore-forming bacterium that causes a secondary infection in beehives following European Foulbrood disease. To better understand the contributions of Brevibacillus bacteriophages to the evolution of their hosts, five novel

A Mathematical Model of Intra-Colony Spread of American Foulbrood in European Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.).

PLoS ONE, 2015
American foulbrood (AFB) is one of the severe infectious diseases of European honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) and other Apis species. This disease is caused by a gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae.

Community Perspectives on eDNA and Ethics: Results From a Mixed‐Methods, Cross‐Sectional Survey

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
In this manuscript we conduct a global, cross‐sectional mixed methods survey targeting the eDNA end user community to identify areas of ethical interest and concern within the research field. We identified areas of research that require consideration including issues around data ownership, public disclosure of raw data, security of that data, and the ...

Diversity of Melissococcus plutonius from honeybee larvae in Japan and experimental reproduction of European foulbrood with cultured atypical isolates. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
European foulbrood (EFB) is an important infectious disease of honeybee larvae, but its pathogenic mechanisms are still poorly understood. The causative agent, Melissococcus plutonius, is a fastidious organism, and microaerophilic to anaerobic conditions

Bacterial community associated with worker honeybees (Apis mellifera) affected by European foulbrood [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Background Melissococcus plutonius is an entomopathogenic bacterium that causes European foulbrood (EFB), a honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) disease that necessitates quarantine in some countries. In Czechia, positive evidence of EFB was absent for almost 40

Investigation the Exsistence of European Foulbrood Disease in Larvae and Adult Honeybees in Some Regions of Turkey with Conventional PCR Methot

Harran Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2021
European foulbrood disease caused by Melissoccocus plutonius which gram-positive bacterium that leads to larval deaths with its worldwide prevalence, paving the way for beehives to die away over time. It causes economic losses in honey production. Bee breeding and honey production are economically pivotal in Turkey, and it is vital to analyze the ...

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.
