Population Genetics of Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae: One Host (Apis mellifera) and Two Different Histories
Two microsporidians are known to infect honey bees: Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae. Whereas population genetics data for the latter have been released in the last few years, such information is still missing for N. apis. Here we analyze the patterns of nucleotide polymorphism at three single-copy loci (PTP2, PTP3 and RPB1) in a collection of Apis mellifera isolates from all over the world, natu...
متن کاملIndividual Variability of Nosema ceranae Infections in Apis mellifera Colonies
Since 2006, beekeepers have reported increased losses of Apis mellifera colonies, and one factor that has been potentially implicated in these losses is the microsporidian Nosema ceranae. Since N. ceranae is a fairly recently discovered parasite, there is little knowledge of the variation in infection levels among individual workers within a colony. In this study we examined the levels of infec...
متن کاملEffects of Nosema apis, N. ceranae, and coinfections on honey bee (Apis mellifera) learning and memory
Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) face an increasing number of challenges that in recent years have led to significant economic effects on apiculture, with attendant consequences for agriculture. Nosemosis is a fungal infection of honey bees caused by either Nosema apis or N. ceranae. The putative greater virulence of N. ceranae has spurred interest in understanding how it differs from N. api...
متن کاملDoes Nosema ceranae Wipe Out Nosema apis in Turkey?
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of the Nosema ceranae and Nosema apis among apiaries using both spore counts and multiplex PCR and the replacement of N. apis by N. ceranae in some regions of Turkey. METHODS A hundred honey bee samples were collected from 99 apiaries in 11 different locations in 2011-2012 in Turkey. Nosema infection degree from collected sample...
متن کاملAfrican Honey Bees (apis Mellifera Scutellata) and Nosema (nosema Apis) Infections
Nosema apis has been found on all continents where there is beekeeping using Apis mellifera. However, there is very little data on the prevalence and impact of Nosema apis in honey bee colonies in tropical climates and it may be uncertain if all records of Microsporidia in honey bees actually are records of the same parasite. Also, the development of N. apis has not been documented in tropical ...
