Investigating the link between Melissococcus plutonius diversity and the microbial ecological factors underlying European Foulbrood disease [PDF]

European foulbrood (EFB) is an increasingly prevalent honey bee disease. While the genetic diversity of the causative agent, Melissococcus plutonius, and microbial ecological factors have been proposed to play a role in EFB severity, the roles of these ...

A longitudinal study of queen health in honey bees reveals tissue specific response to seasonal changes and pathogen pressure

Scientific Reports
The health of honey bee queens is crucial for colony success, particularly during stressful periods like overwintering. To accompany a previous longitudinal study of colony and worker health, we explored niche-specific gut microbiota, host gene ...

Honey-derived Paenibacillus spp. with potential to affect bee brood development in Apis mellifera: Are they a new threat to honey bees?

Virulence
Honey bees are important pollinators in both agriculture and ecosystems, and their health is essential for sustainable human development. Although only two bacteria, Paenibacillus larvae and Melissococcus plutonius, have been identified as bacterial ...
