Harnessing Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds for Crop Protection: Scientific Discovery, Bridging Ecological Function and On‐Farm Application

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
This opinion article highlights how microbial VOCs can support sustainable crop protection and outlines the ecological, analytical and translational challenges that currently limit their field application. It proposes practical and technological pathways to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and on‐farm deployment.

Response of in vitro reared honey bee larvae to various doses of Paenibacillus larvae larvae spores [PDF]

Apidologie, 1998
Le but de l'etude etait de mieux comprendre la relation entre la quantite de spores de P. l. larvae, administrees individuellement a des larves d'Apis mellifera ligustica reparties en trois classes d'âge, et le nombre de larves mortes d'infection. En outre la duree du developpement postembryonnaire et le poids de l'adulte a l'emergence ont ete etudies ...

Role and impact of prophages in Paenibacillus larvae

, 2021
Paenibacillus larvae is the etiological agent of American Foulbrood disease (AFB), a highly contagious and worldwide spread bacterial disease that affects honeybee brood. In this study, all fourteen complete P. larvae genomes available on the NCBI database were analysed for the presence of prophages using the PHAge Search Tool Enhanced Release (PHASTER)

High‐Resolution Metabarcoding Reveals the Microbiome Dynamics of Mangrove Oysters (Crassostrea gasar) and Their Habitat

Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The mangrove oyster (Crassostrea gasar) plays a key ecological role in Amazonian estuaries by filtering suspended organic particles, microalgae, phytoplankton, and bacteria, contributing to water quality and nutrient cycling. Its gut microbiota is shaped by complex interactions with the surrounding aquatic environment, reflecting the ...

Study on Major Diseases, Pests, and Predators of Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) in East Shewa and West Arsi Zones of Oromia, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
A cross‐sectional study design was conducted across agroecological zones in East Shewa and West Arsi Zones of Oromia, Ethiopia, from September 2020 to November 2021 to identify the types, prevalence, and potential risk factors associated with honeybee diseases, pests, and predators.

A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof‐of‐Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...

Effect of bodily fluids from honey bee (Apis mellifera) larvae on growth and genome-wide transcriptional response of the causal agent of American Foulbrood disease (Paenibacillus larvae).

PLoS ONE, 2014
Paenibacillus larvae, the causal agent of American Foulbrood disease (AFB), affects honey bee health worldwide. The present study investigates the effect of bodily fluids from honey bee larvae on growth velocity and transcription for this Gram-positive ...

Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen

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 ...

Monitoring of Paenibacillus larvae, Melissococcus plutonius and Ascosphaera apis pathogens in honeybee colonies in the Czech Republic

, 2021
The aim of this thesis was to summarize the theoretical informations about biology of honeybees and bacteries Paenibacillus larvae and Melissococcus plutonius and parasitic fungi Ascosphaera apis. This organisms attack bee larvae and cause bee diseases.

Antagonistic interactions between honey bee bacterial symbionts and implications for disease

BMC Ecology, 2006
Background Honey bees, Apis mellifera, face many parasites and pathogens and consequently rely on a diverse set of individual and group-level defenses to prevent disease. One route by which honey bees and other insects might combat disease is through the
