First Molecular Detection and Characterization of Nosema ceranae in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera) from the Northern Highlands of Ecuador [PDF]

Insects
The development of beekeeping in Ecuador has generated the need to strengthen the bee health program. Research on the main pathogens responsible for diseases like nosemosis, which can severely impact bee health, is of special interest. This study aims to

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]

Microorganisms
Honeybee (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 ...

In Vivo Inhibitory Assessment of Potential Antifungal Agents on Nosema ceranae Proliferation in Honey Bees [PDF]

Pathogens, 2022
Nosema ceranae Fries, 1996, causes contagious fungal nosemosis disease in managed honey bees, Apis mellifera L. It is associated around the world with winter losses and colony collapse disorder.

Significant, but not biologically relevant: Nosema ceranae infections and winter losses of honey bee colonies [PDF]

Communications Biology, 2023
The analysis of a dataset collected over 15 years reveals no biological relevance of Nosema ceranae infections for colony losses; hence, N. ceranae is not considered a serious threat for honey bees in the background of Varroa destructor infestations.

Innate defense mechanisms against Nosema ceranae in hygienic honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
The honey bee colony (Apis mellifera) acts as a superorganism, with a dual immune system that operates at the individual and social level. However, the linkages between immune mechanisms across the two levels remain poorly understood, despite the ...

Nonlinear dynamics of Nosema ceranae and the fragile resilience of honeybee colonies under environmental strain [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The health and sustainability of honeybee populations are essential for global food production and ecological balance. More than one-third of agricultural crops depend on pollination, making honeybees indispensable to the global economy.

Potential of Wormwood and Oak Bark-Based Supplement in Health Improvement of Nosema ceranae-Infected Honey Bees [PDF]

Animals
Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite, as one of the stressors that contribute to honey bee decline, has a significant negative impact on the longevity, productivity, and reproductive capacity of honey bee colonies.

Chito-Oligosaccharide and Propolis Extract of Stingless Bees Reduce the Infection Load of Nosema ceranae in Apis dorsata (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Nosema ceranae is a microsporidian that infects Apis species. Recently, natural compounds have been proposed to control nosemosis and reduce its transmission among honey bees.

Development of Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent and Immunochromatography Assays for Diagnosing Nosema ceranae Infection in Honey Bees [PDF]

Insects
Nosema ceranae (N. ceranae) infection is prevalent globally, causing a decline in bee populations and significant economic losses to apiarists. Although several methods have been proposed for diagnosing Nosema infections, limitations in these methods ...
