Nosema ceranae has
been detected in several colonies in England and Wales. The symptoms
are characterised by a decline in flying bee numbers and a colony
dwindling as a result. The classic Nosema apis symptoms may not be
present. The NBU have a new TaqMan assay and are going to re-evaluate at
least two years of stored bee samples. At this stage the investigation
is trying to determine the geographic distribution of the pathogen,
patterns of infection and testing imported queens as a possible inoculum
source. More details click here |
