An update on recent colony losses in Scotland from a sample survey covering 2006-2008 [PDF]

, 2010
Peterson et al. (2009) reported figures on honey bee colony losses from a postal survey of beekeepers in Scotland carried out in early summer 2006 on behalf of the Executive of the Scottish Beekeepers' Association (SBA). We now provide updated figures on

Urban landscapes tend to increase the presence of pathogenic protozoa, microsporidia and viruses, but likely decrease the abundance of viruses in wild bees and wasps

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 1911-1925, December 2025.
• The bees Anthophora plumipes and Osmia cornuta had a higher occurrence probability of the neogregarine protozoan Apicystis bombi in more fragmented urban areas.• In the bee Halictus scabiosae and wasp Polistes dominula, hotter urban areas increased the likelihood of occurrence of viruses.• The viruses were found to be replicative in the samples, and ...

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2608-2624, December 2025.
ABSTRACTAnimal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”. Behaviour with

CONTROL AND VIABILITY OF BEE NOSEMOSES

Archives of Veterinary Medicine, 2021
Nosemosis is a bee disease practically present in all countries of the world. Control of the presence of Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae is of great importance. The consequences for bees will depend on the degree of infection of the bees colony.Weakening

Draft genome sequence of the Daphnia pathogen Octosporea bayeri: insights into the gene content of a large microsporidian genome and a model for host-parasite interactions [PDF]

, 2009
Background: The highly compacted 2.9-Mb genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi placed the microsporidia in the spotlight, encoding a mere 2,000 proteins and a highly reduced suite of biochemical pathways.

Control of the microsporidian parasite Nosema ceranae in honey bees (Apis mellifera) using nutraceutical and immuno-stimulatory compounds

PLoS ONE, 2020
Nosema ceranae is a microsporidian parasite that causes nosemosis in the honey bee (Apis mellifera). As alternatives to the antibiotic fumagillin, ten nutraceuticals (oregano oil, thymol, carvacrol, trans-cinnmaldehyde, tetrahydrocurcumin, sulforaphane ...

Material‐to‐Application Integration: Rapid Fabrication of Field‐Deployable Hydrogel‐SiO2 DNA Separator for Low‐Resource Point‐of‐Care Diagnostics

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 43, November 20, 2025.
A rapidly fabricated hydrogel‐SiO2 composite enables ultralow‐cost, equipment‐minimized DNA extraction, outperforming commercial kits. Hierarchical microstructures enhance hydrophobic/salt‐bridge‐driven adsorption. Integrated with visual LAMP, this field‐deployable system detects Vibrio parahaemolyticus at 10 CFU mL−1 in <40 min, offering ...

Metabolomics-based biomarker discovery for bee health monitoring : a proof of concept study concerning nutritional stress in Bombus terrestris [PDF]

, 2019
Bee pollinators are exposed to multiple natural and anthropogenic stressors. Understanding the effects of a single stressor in the complex environmental context of antagonistic/synergistic interactions is critical to pollinator monitoring and may serve ...
