A method for semi-field rearing of Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) to obtain mites of controlled age and specific life cycle
(Les Amis d'Acarologia, 2023-03)Varroa destructor is one of the most devastating ectoparasites of the honey bee, Apis mellifera, worldwide. Given that V. destructor has very low survivability and exhibits no successful reproduction away from their natural ... -
Age‑performance and intensity of grooming behavior toward Varroa destructor in resistant and susceptible Apis mellifera colonies
(Springer, 2022-10)Grooming behavior confers resistance to honey bees against Varroa destructor, being of interest to social immunity studies and breeding programs. The objective of this study was to characterize at the individual level the ... -
Bacterially expressed dsRNA induces Varroa destructor gene knockdown by honey bee-mediated oral administration
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-02)The ectoparasite Varroa destructor causes serious losses of Apis mellifera colonies and negatively impacts the beekeeping industry around the world. New control methods have been proposed based on the RNA interference ... -
Complete genome sequence of deformed wing virus and black queen cell virus isolated from honeybees (Apis mellifera) in Argentina
(American Society for Microbiology, 2024-03)We report the complete genome sequence of deformed wing virus and black queen cell virus isolated from Argentinean’s honeybees. These sequence data will be valuable for future research on the viral variants present in the ... -
Development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and a direct LAMP for the specific detection of Nosema ceranae, a parasite of honey bees
(Springer, 2020-10)Nosema ceranae is a ubiquitous microsporidian pathogen infecting the midgut of honey bees. The infection causes bee nosemosis, a disease associated with malnutrition, dysentery, and lethargic behavior, and results in ... -
Diversity and biological traits of bees visiting flowers of Cucurbita maxima var. zapallito differ between biodiversity-based and conventional management practices
(Springer Nature, 2024-01)Low diversity of pollinators and the modified composition of functional groups of bees have been proposed as the causes of pollination deficiency in cultivated Cucurbitaceae species. Functional groups of bees are determined ... -
Field evaluation of Varroa-resistance traits in surviving Apis mellifera colonies in Argentina
(Springer, 2021-10)Varroa destructor is one of the most important sanitary threats for the beekeeping industry and so far disease control is based mainly on chemical treatment. However, a long-term solution may arise from studying natural ... -
Genetic variation and heteroplasmy of Varroa destructor inferred from ND4 mtDNA sequences
(Springer, 2020-02)Varroa destructor, a parasitic mite of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera L., is a serious threat to colonies and beekeeping worldwide. Population genetics studies of the mite have provided information on two mitochondrial ... -
In vivo neutralization of bee venom lethality by IgY antibodies
(Elsevier, 2021-07)Bee venom is a complex mixture of molecules, among which melittin and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) are the toxic components involved in envenoming accidents with multiple honeybee stings. Traditionally, the treatment of envenomings ... -
Molecular detection and differentiation of arthropod, fungal, protozoan, bacterial and viral pathogens of honeybees
(MDPI, 2022-05)The honeybee Apis mellifera is highly appreciated worldwide because of its products, but also as it is a pollinator of crops and wild plants. The beehive is vulnerable to infections due to arthropods, fungi, protozoa, ... -
Morphometric and genetic characterization as tools for selection of Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) stocks in an area of natural hybridization in Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01)Beekeepers around the world select bees’ characteristics that facilitate and favor production. In regions where hybridization among lineages is taking place, this selection is a challenge, given that these regions are ... -
Pollination Efficiency of Managed Bee Species (Apis mellifera and Bombus pauloensis) in Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) Productivity
(De Gruyter, 2020-06)Understanding how bees use the resources provided by crops of massive flowering is essential to develop meaningful agricultural management of plans to maximize the potential of pollination service. We assessed the effect ... -
Preliminary report of the toxicity of Lippia junelliana (Lamiales: Verbenaceae) and Elionorus muticus (Poales: Poaceae) on Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
(Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2022-01)Several phytochemicals, such as extracts and essential oils, are among the ecological alternatives that have been studied for the control of pathogens that affect humans, animals, and plants. Essential oils are aromatic ... -
Short communication: Varroa destructor re-invasion dynamics during autumn and winter in Apis mellifera colonies from a temperate climate
(Elsevier, 2023-03)Infestation with Varroa destructor compromises the survival of Apis mellifera colonies, especially during the winter season. In order to prevent colony losses due to the presence of Varroa mites, determination of the ... -
Sublethal exposure to imidacloprid in commercial Apis mellifera colonies in early spring: performance of honey bees and insecticide transference between in-hive products
(Springer, 2023-04)Honey bees have an important role in ecosystems as pollinators. However, in recent years, bee populations have declined, with habitat destruction, pesticide use, and climate change contributing to the decline. One of the ... -
Varroa destructor and Nosema sp seasonal dynamics in Apis mellifera colonies from temperate climate in Argentina = Dinámica estacional de Varroa destructor y Nosema sp en colonias de Apis mellifera en clima templado de Argentina
(Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad Nacional del Nordeste, 2022)Los ectoparásitos obligados Varroa destructor y Nosema sp afectan la salud de la abeja de la miel Apis mellifera y genera importantes pérdidas de la colonia. Este artículo describe y analiza información proveniente de ...
