Abstract The aim of the study was to determine incidence viruses causing aseptic meningitis, meningoencephalitis, and encephalitis in Spain. This a prospective study, collaboration with 17 Spanish hospitals, including 581 cases (CSF from all sera 280): meningitis (340), meningoencephalitis (91), (76), febrile syndrome (7), other neurological disorders (32), 35 without clinical information. CSF were assayed by PCR for enterovirus (EV), herpesvirus (herpes simplex [HSV], varicella‐zoster...
The Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, is an important species in providing and pollination services globally. mite Varroa destructor the major threat to A. it associated with severe colony winter mortality reported recent decades. However, mite-resistant or tolerant populations of mellifera have been detected around world. A proposed mechanism responsible for limiting population growth colonies grooming behavior, physical removal injury mites from adult bee bodies by individual workers...
Abstract Cell culture is still the gold standard for diagnosis of human enteroviruses (HEVs) although molecular techniques are required detection some serotypes. Due to diversity HEVs, a single cell line not susceptible all serotypes, and several lines optimize isolation HEVs. In this study, results HEV during last 25 years reported. A total 1,192 HEVs were isolated rates varied depending on used. MRC5 cells yielded best (70.7%), followed by A549 (52.6%), RD (37.5%), HEp‐2 (29.7%). 521...
Honey bee colonies are threatened by multiple factors including complex interactions between environmental and diseases such as parasitic mites viruses. We compared the presence of honeybee-pathogenic viruses Varroa infestation rate in four apiaries: commercial that received treatment against non-treated did not any for last 4 years located temperate subtropical climate. In addition, we evaluated effect climate on deformed wing virus (DWV) amounts. both climates, DWV was most prevalent...
Honeybees are threatened by various pathogens and parasites. More than 18 viruses have been described in honeybees many of them detected China Argentina. In China, both Apis cerana mellifera raised. Argentina, beekeepers raise different ecotypes A. mellifera: European (in temperate subtropical regions) Africanised areas only). A thorough study was carried out Argentina to analyse the current virus presence distribution climatic zones gather information on bee species/subspecies. Adult were...
Abstract In Argentina, migratory activity in search of floral diversity has become a common approach to maximizing honey production. The Entre Ríos province possesses that allows beekeepers perform or stationary management. Beyond the impact caused by transhumance, colonies this start and end season monoculture areas. To study effect these practices on viral infection, we assayed for presence, abundance genetic characterization Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) bees from apiaries with both types...
For the last 10 years, honey bee colony losses have been a topic of interest for researchers around world, and many drivers were described. The aim this study was to evaluate risk factors associated with annual in apiaries located regions under subtropical temperate climate from Argentina. In order accomplish this, series three face-to-face interviews beekeepers carried out samples pathogens determination taken February October 2015, North-Central A total 69 included study. We found that...
European lineages of Apis mellifera were first introduced into America for beekeeping purposes. A subsequent introduction and accidental release A. m. scutellata resulted in hybridization events that gave rise to Africanized populations rapidly spread throughout the continent. In Argentina, honey bees (AHBs) have been mostly detected northern regions territory, represent a valuable genetic resource selection stocks with advantageous characteristics beekeeping. The objective present study was...
Africanized Apis mellifera colonies with promising characteristics for beekeeping have been detected in northern Argentina (subtropical climate) and are considered of interest breeding programs. Integral evaluation this feral material revealed high colony strength resistance/tolerance to brood diseases. However, these honeybees (AHB) also showed variable negative behavioral traits beekeeping, such as defensiveness, tendency swarm avoidance behavior. We developed a protocol the selection AHB...
<title>Abstract</title> The deformed wing virus (DWV) is a highly prevalent pathogen that affects honeybees and associated to colony losses. In Argentina, the Entre Rios province possesses floral diversity allows beekeepers perform migratory or sedentary management. aim of this work was investigate effect both types management on prevalence abundance DWV characterize variant present in study area. apiaries, 86.2% colonies gave detectable result at beginning season (September 2018), 62% end...
