Stimulating effect of sugar dusting on honey bee grooming behaviour
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2012)
The aim of this research was to investigate whether or not sugar dusting can stimulate the grooming behaviour in Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), an important defensive mechanism against Varroa destructor Anderson ...
Variability of the honey bee mite Varroa destructor in Serbia, based on mtDNA analysis
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2013)
Only two mitochondrial haplotypes (Korea and Japan) of Varroa destructor, the ectoparasitic honey bee mite, are known to be capable of infesting and successfully reproducing in Apis mellifera colonies worldwide. Varroa ...
Coexistence of genetically different Varroa destructor in Apis mellifera colonies
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2019)
The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of Varroa destructor parasitizing Apis mellifera colonies and to test for possible host-parasite association at the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) level. Six A. ...
Quantitative PCR assessment of Lotmaria passim in Apis mellifera colonies co-infected naturally with Nosema ceranae
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2018)
A recently described trypanosomatid species Lotmaria passim and the microsporidium Nosema ceranae infect the honey bee (Apis mellifera), but the interspecific dynamic of these two common gut parasites is unknown. In this ...
Response of adult honey bees treated in larval stage with prochloraz to infection with Nosema ceranae
(Peerj Inc, London, 2019)
Among numerous factors that contribute to honey bee colony losses and problems in beekeeping, pesticides and Nosema ceranae have been often reported. In contrast to insecticides, whose effects on bees have been widely ...
Characteristics of Nosema ceranae infection in Serbian honey bee colonies
(Springer France, Paris, 2013)
The incidence, symptoms and consequences of Nosema ceranae infection were monitored in 200 honey bee colonies in Serbia over 5 years (2008-2012) to reveal if they display characteristics described for nosemosis type C. ...
Honey bee viruses in Serbian colonies of different strength
(Peerj Inc, London, 2018)
Protection of honey bees is of great economic importance because of their role in pollination. Crucial steps towards this goal are epidemiological surveys of pathogens connected with honey bee losses. In this study deformed ...
