Brazil, though the Africanized honeybees are considered resistant and tolerant to most of bee pathogens and parasites, in recent years considerable losses have been reported in some localities, especially in the Southeast and Southern states. Since the phenomenon that is affecting honeybees around the world has been observed also in Brazil (with less intensity), we proposed a research project aiming to determine possible causes for such decline or losses, and in particular to test the likelihoods of specific predicted causative agent(s) for this condition. Alternative approaches, including genetic screening can be extremely useful and can accelerate important discoveries related to the current problem. Here it was present an overview about these... |

Several pathogens attack the bees Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae) around the world, such as the bacteria Paenibacillus larvae and the fungi Ascosphaera apis, Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae. Their distributions in some parts of the world, such as Brazil, are not fully known not only because of the difficulty of collecting samples such as in our large country, but also because of the time and the cost of diagnosis techniques involved. The analyze of the presence of the spores of honeybee pathogens in honey has shown to be a good strategy for epidemiological studies and early detection before the expression of symptoms in the colony. Therefore it is important the standardizantion of techniques for rapid diagnosis to facilitate the safe performance of... |
