Bacterial Diseases in Honeybees

摘要: Purpose of Review American foulbrood (AFB) and European (EFB) are widely distributed highly infectious bacterial diseases honeybee brood causing colony losses considerable economic strain on apiculture globally. In this review, we synthesize the most recent discoveries achievements made towards understanding pathogenesis epidemiology these two present current efforts in finding ways to combat them. Recent Findings Advancements molecular methods, such as next-generation sequencing, have provided high-resolution insight into epidemiological parameters factors virulence for foulbroods honeybees. Summary The recently gained detailed knowledge diversity, biogeography, relatedness strains sub-types causative bacteria AFB EFB provides a background study their at many scales. Such information will help provide more global perspective disease an increasingly international beekeeping industry.
