Phage therapy in Apiculture - prospects
| Resumo: | American Foulbrood (AFB) is a bacterial disease affecting honeybees, with no currently available treatment. The infectious process begins when adult bees provide spore-contaminated food to their larvae. We investigated the possibility of using phages to control AFB, orally administered to adult bees, by characterizing phage safety, biodistribution and activity in hive conditions. |
