Background:Propolis is a bee product widely used in folk medicine and possessing many pharmacological properties.In this study we aimed to investigate: i) the antiviral activities of Hatay propolis samples against HSV-1 HSV-2 HEp-2 cell line, ii) presence synergistic effects with acyclovir these viruses. Material/Methods:All experiments were carried out cultures.Proliferation assays performed 24-well flat bottom microplates.We inoculated 1x10 5 cells per ml RPMI 1640 medium 10% fetal calf...
Due to its multifunctional and complex role in the honey bee colony functioning health (construction material allowing food storage, brood rearing, thermoregulation, mediation chemical mechanical communication, substrate for pathogens, toxins waste), Apis mellifera beeswax has been widely studied over last five decades. This is supported by a comprehensive set of scientific reports covering different aspects research. In this article, we present an overview methods studying chemical,...
The aim of this study was to improve cage systems for maintaining adult honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) workers under in vitro laboratory conditions. To achieve goal, we experimentally evaluated the impact different cages, developed by scientists international research network COLOSS (Prevention COlony LOSSes), on physiology and survival bees. We identified three cages that promoted good bees from exhibited greater had relatively lower titers deformed wing virus, suggesting virus is a...
Domestic felines’ re-emerging infectious and neglected zoonotic diseases are a significant focus of global “One Health” efforts. This study aimed to rapidly diagnose 14 pathogens, including zoonoses by using PCR primers in 167 client-owned symptomatic cats, routinely accepted the Veterinary Clinics Tekirdag. The prevalence pathogens investigated were as follows: Babesia canis (24%), microti (2.4%), Hepatozoon felis (10.8%), Cytauxzoon (6.6%), Bartonella henselae (40.1%), Anaplasma platys...

European beekeeping suffers significant regional differences in colony losses due to the external impacts on beekeeping, including climate change and prevalence of diseases (McMenamin Gener...
SummaryHoney bee queens in Hatay, Turkey, were investigated to reveal the status of Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) and parasites. DWV, Nosema sp., Malpighamoeba mellificae, Varroa destructor detected among samples. This is first record DWV honey with multiple parasitic infections apiaries collapsed colonies Turkey.
In recent years, the widespread use of neonicotinoids in agricultural areas has caused environmental pollution due to its lower toxicity mammals. Honey bees, which are considered as biological indicators pollution, can carry these pollutants hives. Forager bees returning from sunflower crops that have been treated with fields cause residue accumulation hives, reason colony-level adverse effects. This study analyses neonicotinoid residues (Helianthus annuus) honey sampled by beekeepers...
The purpose of the present study was to investigate antimicrobial effect propolis ethanol extract collected from Tarsus district Mersin province, Kilis Yayladagi Hatay province in southern Türkiye and Sarkoy Tekirdag northwestern against Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Helicobacter pylori 43504), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 27853), Staphylococcus aureus 29213). Their chemical constituents were detected via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). They used a molecular...
Emerging pathogens of honey bees represent an important threat to the development beekeeping sector. The implementation biosecurity measures in (BMBs) plays essential role supporting bee health within A group experts, collaboration with BPRACTICES (Grant Agreement No. 696231, European Research Area on Sustainable Animal Production Systems [ERA-Net SusAn]) project partners, has provided definition BMBs. Thus, BMBs are all those operational activities implemented control risk introduction and...
There are limited molecular studies about Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum which economically important livestock protozoons in wild birds investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Molecular prevalance of both parasites brain tissues Turkey is unknown. Prevalance T. was 7%, N. 14% mix infection found 4% 101 under 20 species from two different regions Turkey. The chi-square test has been applied to the acquired data. This first biologic investigation for aim PCR diagnosis...
AbstractMultiple viral infections are one of the main drivers honey bee colony losses and threaten sustainability health. The Acute paralysis virus (ABPV) is common viruses that can induce overt and/or covert in colonies. Globally more knowledge needed about its effects leading to losses. ABPV-related pathology includes paralytic, trembling bees, unable fly and, some cases, ABPV causes death molecular phylogenetic isolates obtained from apiaries suffering with CCD-like complaints Türkiye was...
This study was carried out to reveal the importance of procalcitonin, C reactive protein, nitric oxide levels, and adenosine deaminase activity in diagnosis prognosis disease naturally infected sheep with Babesia ovis. Thirty diagnosed clinically parasitologically as having ovis were allocated 2 groups. The first group treated only imidocarp dipropionate second flunixine meglumin. On seventh day after treatment, blood samples collected again from babesiosis-infected treatment responses...
