Quantitative tyramine analysis method for Apis mellifera larvae infected with Melissococcus plutonius, the causative agent of European foulbrood. [PDF]
J Vet Med SciTyramine, a trace monoamine produced from tyrosine by decarboxylation and found naturally in foods, plants, and animals, is a suspected virulence factor of Melissococcus plutonius that causes European foulbrood in honey bee brood. In the present study, we developed a method for quantitative analysis of tyramine in culture medium and honey bee larvae ...

Virulence Differences among Melissococcus plutonius Strains with Different Genetic Backgrounds in Apis mellifera Larvae under an Improved Experimental Condition. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractEuropean foulbrood (EFB) caused by Melissococcus plutonius is an important bacterial disease of honeybee larvae. M. plutonius strains can be grouped into three genetically distinct groups (CC3, CC12 and CC13). Because EFB could not be reproduced in artificially reared honeybee larvae by fastidious strains of CC3 and CC13 previously, we ...

Shared and unique microbes between Small hive beetles (Aethina tumida) and their honey bee hosts
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2019., 2019 Honey bee‐associated bacteria were identified from the small hive beetles, which may facilitate the beetle thriving in the bee hive. At the mean time, the honey bee virus colonize and replicate in SHBs, dispersion of host virus by social parasites to floral resources and hives, providing additional threats to honey bees and other insects.
