Frequent parasitism of Apis mellifera by Trypanosomatids in geographically isol...
Aguado-López, Daniel; Bartolomé, Carolina; Lopes, Ana; Henriques, Dora; Segura, Sara K.; Maside, Xulio; Pinto, M. Alice; Higes, MarianoTrypanosomatids form a group of high prevalence protozoa that parasitise honey bees, with Lotmaria passim as the predominant species worldwide. However, the knowledge about the ecology of trypanosomatids in isolated areas is limited. The Portuguese archipelagos of Madeira and Azores provide an interesting setting to investigate these parasites because of their geographic isolation, and because they harbour hone...

Nosema ceranae in Apis mellifera: a 12 years postdetection perspective
Martín-Hernández, Raquel; Bartolomé, Carolina; Chejanovsky, Nor; Le Conte, Yves; Dalmon, Anne; Dussaubat, Claudia; García-Palencia, PilarNosema ceranae is a hot topic in honey bee health as reflected by numerous papers published every year. This review presents an update of the knowledge generated in the last 12 years in the field of N. ceranae research, addressing the routes of transmission, population structure and genetic diversity. This includes description of how the infection modifies the honey bee’s metabolism, the immune response and oth...
