Chromium‐Doped Zinc Gallate Nanoparticles for Enhanced Enzyme‐Linked Immunosorbent Assay Sensitivity: Optimization of Synthesis and Functionalization Strategies for Ultra‐Low IgG Detection

open access: yesSmall Science, Volume 5, Issue 10, October 2025.
The impact of the hydrothermal preparation method of ZGO nanoparticles (120 °C for 6, 12, or 24 h, scheme a) significantly influences their signal intensity after exposure to H2O2 and excitation with UV. These nanoparticles, either in a nonfunctionalized form (scheme b) or covalently functionalized with antibodies (scheme c and d), have been applied ...

Sulfonamide Residues: Honey Quality in the Czech Market

open access: yesJournal of Food Quality, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
In this study, we determined four sulfonamide compounds (sulfadiazine, sulfadoxine, sulfamethoxazole, and sulfathiazole) in honey marketed in the Czech Republic (Brno). The content of these compounds was monitored in 50 honeys with different botanical and geographical origin.

The Honey Bee Pathosphere of Mongolia: European Viruses in Central Asia. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Parasites and pathogens are apparent key factors for the detrimental health of managed European honey bee subspecies, Apis mellifera. Apicultural trade is arguably the main factor for the almost global distribution of most honey bee diseases, thereby ...

The smell of infection: Disease surveillance in insects using volatile organic compounds

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 81-89, February 2025.
Abstract Insects play crucial roles in nearly every ecosystem and provide a wide array of ecosystem services. However, both managed and wild insect populations face threats from parasites and pathogens, which require surveillance to mitigate. Current infectious disease surveillance methods for insects often involve invasive, time‐consuming and ...

Lengths of Orthologous Prokaryotic Proteins Are Affected by Evolutionary Factors

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Proteins of the same functional family (for example, kinases) may have significantly different lengths. It is an open question whether such variation in length is random or it appears as a response to some unknown evolutionary driving factors. The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate existence of factors affecting prokaryotic gene lengths.

Infection of Melissococcus plutonius clonal complex 12 strain in European honeybee larvae is essentially confined to the digestive tract. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Vet Med Sci, 2016
Melissococcus plutonius is an important pathogen that causes European foulbrood (EFB) in honeybee larvae. Recently, we discovered a group of M. plutonius strains that are phenotypically and genetically distinct from other strains. These strains belong to clonal complex (CC) 12, as determined by multilocus sequence typing analysis, and show atypical ...

Insights into the identification of antimicrobial peptides: A multidisciplinary observation

open access: yesiMetaOmics, Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2024.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exemplify the principle of “Life finds a way” by adapting to diverse environmental niches. These peptides exhibit remarkable specificity, targeting pathogens unique to their respective habitats. Understanding the ecological context of AMPs not only clarifies how these peptides selectively target pathogens while remaining ...

Antimicrobial Activity from Putative Probiotic Lactic Acid Bacteria for the Biological Control of American and European Foulbrood Diseases

open access: yesVeterinary Sciences, 2022
The balance of the gut microbiome is important for the honey bee’s growth and development, immune function and defense against pathogens. The use of a beneficial bacteria-based strategy for the prevention and biocontrol of American foulbrood (AFB) and ...
