Effects of Disinfectants on Bacterium Paenibacillus larvae in Laboratory Conditions. [PDF]
American foulbrood is an infectious disease of the honeybee brood that causes multiple types of damage to beekeeping. The causative agent of the disease is the bacterium Paenibacillus larvae, which forms resistant infective spores and is viable for decades. After the eradication measures have been implemented, in cases of clinically visible disease, it

INHIBITION EFFECT OF SOME NEW TYPES OF LACTIC ACID BACTERIA (EXTRACTED FOR GUT OF THE HONEYBEE Apis mellifera) AGINST Paeni bacillus larvae larvae [PDF]
The probiotic lactic acid bacterium (LAB) was reported in the gut of the honeybee Apis mellifera. Partial 16S rRNA gene sequences of the bacterial flora found in the gut of the honeybee workers, revealed the presence of seven novel strain of LAB. Five of

Requirements for In Vitro Germination of Paenibacillus larvae Spores [PDF]
Paenibacillus larvae is the causative agent of American foulbrood (AFB), a disease affecting honey bee larvae. First- and second-instar larvae become infected when they ingest food contaminated with P. larvae spores. The spores then germinate into vegetative cells that proliferate in the midgut of the honey bee.

Characterization of a new podovirus infecting Paenibacillus larvae. [PDF]
AbstractThe Paenibacillus larvae infecting phage API480 (vB_PlaP_API480) is the first reported podovirus for this bacterial species, with an 58 nm icosahedral capsid and a 12 × 8 nm short, non-contractile tail. API480 encodes 77 coding sequences (CDSs) on its 45,026 bp dsDNA genome, of which 47 were confirmed using mass spectrometry. This phage has got

Small hive beetles, Aethina tumida, are vectors of Paenibacillus larvae [PDF]
The transmission of honeybee pathogens by free-flying pests, such as small hive beetles (=SHB), would be independent of bees and beekeepers and thereby constitute a new challenge for pathogen control measures.

American foulbrood (AFB) is the most serious bacterial disease of honey bee brood. Spores of the causative agent Paenibacillus larvae are ingested by bee larvae via brood foods and germinated cells proliferate in the larval midgut.

Disinfection of wooden structures contaminated with Paenibacillus larvae subsp. larvae spores [PDF]
The aim of the study is to examine the disinfection of wood contaminated with Paenibacillus larvae subsp. larvae spores, in order to find a practical decontamination method for hive materials.The number of viable spores recovered after the treatment, on the surface by swabbing, and in the deeper parts of the wood by scraping, was used to test the ...
