Molecular Detection of Nosema spp. in Honey in Bulgaria

Veterinary Sciences, 2021
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is related to screening genetic material of various organisms in environmental samples. Honey represents a natural source of exogenous DNA, which allows for the detection of different honey bee pathogens and parasites ...

The effect of salinity on transovarial transmission of a microsporidian infecting Gammarus duebeni [PDF]

, 1997
This is an investigation of the impact of salinity on transovarial transmission and burden of a microsporidian sex ratio distorter in the inter-tidal crustacean Gammarus duebeni.

Economic and Biological Evaluation of Pheromone Trap Types for Western Bean Cutworm, Striacosta albicosta, Monitoring in Dry Edible Bean Fields

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 750-763, July 2026.
Pheromone trap use for monitoring Striacosta albicosta in dry edible beans was evaluated across multiple trap designs, lure replacement intervals, and insecticide timings. Bucket traps captured the most moths, yet trap counts poorly predicted crop damage.

Proteasome Inhibition Is an Effective Treatment Strategy for Microsporidia Infection in Honey Bees

Biomolecules, 2021
The microsporidia Nosema ceranae is an obligate intracellular parasite that causes honey bee mortality and contributes to colony collapse. Fumagillin is presently the only pharmacological control for N. ceranae infections in honey bees.

Wake Up and Smell the Infected Bees: Volatile Cues of Vairimorpha Infection in Honey Bees

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Infection can modify host volatile emissions, yet effects in adult honey bees remain unexplored. Using dynamic headspace sampling and GC × GC–MS, we show that Vairimorpha spp. infection significantly alters the volatile profile of adult worker honey bees over a 14‐day time series, producing stage‐specific shifts in multivariate odour structure.

Human Microsporidial Infections [PDF]

, 2006
Microsporidia are eukaryotic, spore forming obligate intracellular parasites, first recognised over 100 years ago. Microsporidia are becoming increasingly recognised as infectious pathogens causing intestinal and extra-intestinal diseases in both immuno ...

The cost of promiscuity: sexual transmission of Nosema microsporidian parasites in polyandrous honey bees [PDF]

, 2015
Multiple mating (and insemination) by females with different males, polyandry, is widespread across animals, due to material and/or genetic benefits for females.

Microbial Pressure and Social Immunity: Bumble Bees Increase Brood Hygiene After Exposure to a Bacillus thuringiensis‐Based Biopesticide

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In social insect colonies, diseased or dead brood is identified and removed by workers to prevent the infection of the whole colony. Here, bumble bee larvae exposed to a bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. aizawai (strain: ABTS‐1857)) based biopesticide were removed more frequently than wounded or untreated control larvae. This shows that bumble bee

Honey Bee Infection Caused by Nosema spp. in Lithuania

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2016
The infection of Lithuanian honey bee colonies by Nosema apis and N. ceranae and the consequences were analysed over a four-year (2011 - 2014) period. Both mono-infection either by N. apis or N.

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...
