Testing of Tolerance against Afb in Honey Bee Larvae and Colonies
نویسنده
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Paenibacillus larvae larvae (WHITE) is the causative agent of American foulbrood (AFB) in honey bees (Apis mellifera L.). This disease is lethal to honey bee colonies if curative control actions are not taken (HANSEN and BRØDSGAARD, 1997). Recently, increasing problems with AFB in Europe (DROBNÍKOVÁ,1992; HANSEN,1996; OTTEN, 1991; VON DER OHE et al. 1996) have renewed the interest and need for selection for AFB tolerant honey bee strains. In Denmark, the experience with control of AFB indicates that the problems have especially increased in some Buckfast strains (HANSEN, 1996).

Tolerance Mechanisms against American Foulbrood in Honey Bee Larvae and Colonies
Recently, increasing incidences of AFB and problems controlling the disease – based on resistance build-up in the bacteria, increased residue problems, and loss of natural resistance in bees have renewed the interest for AFB tolerant honey bee strains world-wide. The honey bee possesses different tolerance mechanisms against AFB – e.g. larval resistance, hygienic behaviour and food inhibition o...

متن کاملDevelopment of PCR method for diagnosing of honey bee American Foulbrood disease
American foulbrood (AFB) disease is caused by the sporeforming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae larvae. Traditional diagnosis is based on culture technique is time and laboratory work consuming. In this study with standard strain, PCR was developed by specific primers and PCR products were electrophoresed on 0.8 % agarose gel. The PCR primers were selected on the basis of the 16S rRNA gene and am...
متن کاملDetection of Paenibacillus larvae larvae spores in honey and diseased larvae Samples by culture and PCR
American foulbrood (AFB) is the most serious brood disease of the honey bee. Traditional methods are reliable but rather slow simply because they are based on biochemical, morphological and physiological identification of cultivated isolates. The aim of this study is the detection of Paenibacillus larvae larvae spores in honey and diseased larvae samples by culture and PCR. Therefore 54 samp...

Introduction American Foulbrood (AFB) is one of the most threatening epidemic brood diseases in honey bee colonies. This disease is caused by the pathogen Paenibacillus larvae larvae. According to the common animal health law in Germany the outbreak of AFB has to be reported to veterinarian service. The veterinarian has to decide about eradication of bee colonies, cleaning and disinfection as w...
