Paenibacillus larvae and American Foulbrood – long since known and still surprising
TL;DR: A review of American foulbrood, one of the most deleterious bacterial honey bee diseases though affecting only the larval stages of bees, and the related pathogen P. larvae and the pathogenesis of AFB are reviewed by reviewing both, historical data and new results obtained with modern laboratory techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multilocus sequence typing, biochemical and antibiotic resistance characterizations reveal diversity of North American strains of the honey bee pathogen Paenibacillus larvae.
TL;DR: The data highlight the intraspecies relationships of P. larvae and the potential application of MLST methods in enhancing the understanding of epidemiological relationships among bacterial isolates of different origins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protease and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase of honey bee chalkbrood pathogen Ascosphaera apis
TL;DR: It is found that A. apis HL–5–2 grown in enrichment culture medium containing 0.2% colloidal chitin at 30°C for 14 days, produced the highest yield of enzyme, and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase had a specific activity and recovery yield of 42.8 and 8.4 % respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Honeybee Disease American Foulbrood — An African Perspective
TL;DR: It is argued that given the particular context of honeybees in Africa, protection policies need to be put in place to ensure that African honeybees remain healthy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) vs culture-dependent detection to assess honey contamination by Paenibacillus larvae
TL;DR: Results strongly suggested the necessity to apply improved culture methods or molecular detection/quantification for a more reliable AFB risk estimation in order to efficiently fight this honey bee plague.

Dissertation
Characterization of virulence factors targeting Apis mellifera: Varroa Toxic Protein and LarvinA
TL;DR: This thesis describes the biochemical characterization of two important virulence factors: LarvinA from AFB, and Varroa Toxic Protein (VTP) from the mite, which is primarily an α-helical protein; however, it is thermally labile based on the temperature analysis of the protein.
