The Impact of Vairimorpha (Nosema) ceranae Natural Infection on Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) and Bee Bread Microbiota

Honey bees face new challenges, ranging from climate crisis to emerging pathogens such as Vairimorpha (Nosema) ceranae that synergistically cause a syndrome designated as colony collapse disorder (CCD). This study employed a metataxonomic approach in order to investigate if V. ceranae affects gut mi...

Zusammenfassung:Honey bees face new challenges, ranging from climate crisis to emerging pathogens such as Vairimorpha (Nosema) ceranae that synergistically cause a syndrome designated as colony collapse disorder (CCD). This study employed a metataxonomic approach in order to investigate if V. ceranae affects gut microbiota (bacteria and fungi) of adult A. mellifera honey bees as well as microbiota of bee bread (BB) stored in colonies demonstrating severe V. ceranae infection (spore counts >2,500,000 per bee) as compared with colonies exhibiting very low spore counts (
