Field Application of an Innovative Approach to Assess Honeybee Health and Nutritional Status

Animals
Environment, forage quality, management practices, pathogens, and pesticides influence honeybee responses to stressors. This study proposes an innovative approach to assess colony health and performance using molecular diagnostic tools by correlating ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Complete Genome Sequences of Paenibacillus Larvae Phages BN12, Dragolir, Kiel007, Leyra, Likha, Pagassa, PBL1c, and Tadhana [PDF]

, 2018
We present here the complete genomes of eight phages that infect Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of American foulbrood in honeybees. Phage PBL1c was originally isolated in 1984 from a P.

Hygienic and grooming behaviors in African and European honeybees—New damage categories in Varroa destructor

PLoS ONE, 2017
Varroa destructor is an ectoparasitic pest of honeybees, and a threat to the survival of the apiculture industry. Several studies have shown that unlike European honeybees, African honeybee populations appear to be minimally affected when attacked by ...

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.

Field-relevant doses of the systemic insecticide fipronil and fungicide pyraclostrobin impair mandibular and hypopharyngeal glands in nurse honeybees (Apis mellifera)

Scientific Reports, 2017
Global decreases in bee populations emphasize the importance of assessing how environmental stressors affect colony maintenance, especially considering the extreme task specialization observed in honeybee societies.

Identification of Parasitic Infections by Analyzing Honeybees, Honey, and Pollen Using Droplet Digital RT-PCR

Microorganisms
Toxoplasma gondii, Giardia intestinalis, and Cryptosporidium spp. are common pathogens that contaminate water and food. They can pose serious health risks, especially to vulnerable groups like immunocompromised individuals, pregnant women, young children,
