Extracts From Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) Peel via Microwave‐Assisted and Conventional Extractions: Evaluation of Nosema Infection and Toxicity in Honey Bees [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.Conventional and microwave‐assisted extractions of grapefruit peels were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) based on TPC, TFC, and antioxidant activity (DPPH). The phytochemical profiles of the two optimum extracts were characterized via HPLC before evaluating their acute and chronic toxicity, as well as their effects on honey bee (Apis

Winter Bottom Beehive Cadavers as a Tool for Assessing Nosema ceranae Infestation Intensity in Honeybee Colonies in Regions with Different Beekeeping Densities in Slovakia [PDF]
MicroorganismsHoneybee (Apis mellifera) colony density is frequently assumed to influence the level of Nosema ceranae infestation in managed colonies. In Slovakia, winter bottom beehive debris (dead worker bees) is routinely collected between January and February ...

Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen [PDF]
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7939-7949, December 2025.We immune‐primed honey bees at two developmental stages in the laboratory and the field with heat‐killed Nosema ceranae spores. When subsequently fed live spores, immune‐primed adults had lower infection levels. Abstract BACKGROUND Honey bees face significant threats from pathogens like Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite that contributes to ...

Does Nosema ceranae Wipe Out Nosema apis in Turkey?
Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2016 Background: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of the Nosema ceranae and Nosema apis among apiaries using both spore counts and multiplex PCR and the replacement of N. apis by N. ceranae in some regions of Turkey.

Molecular and phylogenetic characterization of honey bee viruses, Nosema microsporidia, protozoan parasites, and parasitic mites in China [PDF]
, 2008 China has the largest number of managed honey bee colonies, which produce the highest quantity of honey and royal jelly in the world; however, the presence of honey bee pathogens and parasites has never been rigorously identified in Chinese apiaries.

So near and yet so far: Harmonic radar reveals reduced homing ability of nosema infected honeybees [PDF]
, 2014 Pathogens may gain a fitness advantage through manipulation of the behaviour of their hosts. Likewise, host behavioural changes can be a defence mechanism, counteracting the impact of pathogens on host fitness.
