Infection rate based on quantitative real-time PCR of Melissococcus plutonius, the causal agent of European foulbrood, in honeybee colonies before and after apiary sanitation [PDF]
Since 1999, the incidence of European foulbrood (EFB) in Switzerland has been rising constantly. To understand the reason for this increase, an epidemiological study of the efficacy of sanitation measures was carried out.
