Dataset of the next-generation sequencing of variable 16S rRNA from bacteria and ITS2 regions from fungi and plants derived from honeybees kept under anthropogenic landscapes

Data in Brief, 2021
Forager Apis melliefera honeybees were collected from four localities located in Europe, i.e.: London, UK; Athens, Greece; Marchamalo, Spain and Lublin, Poland. Furthermore, from Asia we have collected A. mellifera as well as A.

Amplicon Sequencing of Variable 16S rRNA from Bacteria and ITS2 Regions from Fungi and Plants, Reveals Honeybee Susceptibility to Diseases Results from Their Forage Availability under Anthropogenic Landscapes

Pathogens, 2021
European Apis mellifera and Asian Apis cerana honeybees are essential crop pollinators. Microbiome studies can provide complex information on health and fitness of these insects in relation to environmental changes, and plant availability.

The relationship between managed bees and the prevalence of parasites in bumblebees [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
Honey bees and, more recently, bumblebees have been domesticated and are now managed commercially primarily for crop pollination, mixing with wild pollinators during foraging on shared flower resources.

Habitat-specific variation in gut microbial communities and pathogen prevalence in bumblebee queens (Bombus terrestris). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Gut microbial communities are critical for the health of many insect species. However, little is known about how gut microbial communities respond to anthropogenic changes and how such changes affect host-pathogen interactions.

Assessment of intestinal parasites in the coexisting Bombus terrestris (Apidae) and Xylocopa augusti (Apidae) in central Chile

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2020
Bombus terrestris is a European bumblebee extensively commercialized worldwide for crop pollination. In Chile, this species was introduced in 1997 and after confinement escape, it has spread and established in several localities of central-southern Chile

The gut microbiome of solitary bees is mainly affected by pathogen assemblage and partially by land use

Environmental Microbiome, 2023
Pollinators, including solitary bees, are drastically declining worldwide. Among the factors contributing to this decline, bee pathogens and different land uses are of relevance.

The Epidemiological Situation of the Managed Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Colonies in the Italian Region Emilia-Romagna

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
The recent decades witnessed the collapse of honey bee colonies at a global level. The major drivers of this collapse include both individual and synergic pathogen actions, threatening the colonies’ survival.

Parasites of the genus Nosema, Crithidia and Lotmaria in the honeybee and bumblebee populations: a case study in India

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2018
The populations of honeybees and bumblebees have been decreasing around the world in the recent decades. A variety of pathogens and parasites, including  bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, mites and insects play signi ficant role in honeybee and ...

Molecular and phylogenetic characterization of honey bee viruses, Nosema microsporidia, protozoan parasites, and parasitic mites in China [PDF]

, 2013
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.
