The global spread of the parasitic Varroa mite has introduced a new bee to horizontal transmission route for several RNA viruses that bypasses existing barriers in honey bees. From among these viruses, deformed wing virus (DWV) is now most widespread insect pathogens world. Brazilian stingless bees are diverse group often managed close proximity Therefore, we investigated prevalence and load DWV 21 (Melipona subnitida) 26 (Apis mellifera) colonies from Brazil. was detected all with DWV-A...
Abstract Globalization has facilitated the spread of emerging pests such as Varroa destructor mite, resulting in near global distribution pest. In South African and Brazilian honey bees, mite-resistant colonies appeared within a decade; Europe, are rare, but several these exhibited high levels “re-capping” behavior. We studied re-capping Varroa-naïve (UK/Australia) Varroa-resistant (South Africa Brazil) populations found very low levels, respectively, with resistant targeting mite-infested...
Stingless bees are important pollinators in tropical and subtropical areas. The breeding of native stingless bee species from the Meliponini tribe to obtain honey, pollen, geopropolis (meliponiculture) is a promising activity Brazil with economic, social, environmental impacts. can share food sources Apis mellifera other insects that be vectors pathogens. Here, we investigated seven (Melipona quadrifasciata anthidioides, Melipona scutellaris, Nannotrigona testaceicornis, Partamona helleri,...
The African-derived honey bee, Apis mellifera scutellata L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), is reported to be somewhat resistant the parasitic mite Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman (Mesostigmata: Varroidae). However, this considered a danger bee colonies around world and have negative effects in Brazil as well. Climate altitude can affect infestation levels of mite. impact climate on rates Africanized not well known; therefore, goal study was assess environmental bees Brazil. We sampled 193...
Casuarina glauca (ex Sieb. Spring, 1826) west of Bahia State (S 11° 08' 09 W -42° 06' 46), (Fagales: Casuarinaceae), native to Australia, is and it has an Haplic Cambisol clay soil type, a fast-growing, mediumsized evergreen tree equatorial tropical climate, mean annual rainfall 10-15 m 25 high 3 feet (91 cm) in diam 605 mm dry season from Apr Oct. The at the base with gray bark on new branches planting used this study was composed 70 C. brown dark old ones. It tannin trees interspersed...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicity aqueous extracts Annona squamosa L. (Magnoliales: Annonaceae), Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Sapindales: Meliaceae), Corymbia citriodora Hook. (Myrtales: Myrtaceae), Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt ex Bor (Poales: Poaceae), Lippia sidoides Cham. (Lamiales: Verbenaceae), Mentha arvensis Lamiaceae), Ricinus communis (Malpighiales: Euphorbiaceae), and Sapindus saponaria Sapindaceae) on developmental stages (eggs, 5th instars, adults) a generalist...
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) function as recognition compounds with the best evidence coming from social insects such ants and honey bees. The major exocrine gland involved in hydrocarbon storage is post-pharyngeal (PPG) head. It still not clearly understood where CHCs are stored bee. aim of this study was to investigate esters found five worker bee (Apis mellifera) glands, at three different developmental stages (newly emerged, nurse, forager) using a high temperature GC analysis. We...
Pollen analysis in honey can be used as an alternative method to researchinto flowers visited by bees area. This study aimed indentify the mainfloral families from apiaries Atlantic Forest and Sergipe statecoast. Honey samples these were studied, well plants thatgrow around them, which a source of foraging for bees. Thepalynological technique was compare pollen content honeysamples with grains leaves found vicinityof assess whether they had been The resultsof studies both sites similar terms...
Honey bee-mite-pathogen associations have led to the widespread collapse of Apis mellifera colonies in various parts world. The global trade bees continues expose honey new pests and pathogens. Here we highlight beekeeping community a potential mite-pathogen association. In South America, ecto-parasitic Leptus mite larvae been recorded parasitizing adult these mites are known transmit Spiroplasma bacteria, causative agent "Mays disease" bees. provide data review past studies on mites,...
Bee pollen, which is the material that adheres to honeybees as they collect nectar from flowers, agglutinated into balls with and bee saliva substances important survival of colonies these insects. Damage pollen stored at 10% RH was found in samples collected Sergipe State, Brazil. Insects were identified Lasioderma serricorne (Fabricius, 1792) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae), a cosmopolitan insect one main insects infesting tobacco many food products. This first record damage by this dehydrated...
Os ácaros tetraniquídeos representam importantes pragas para diversas culturas agrícolas em todo o mundo. Durante a prospecção mudas de Erytrina velutina no distrito São Cristovão, Estado Sergipe, Brasil, ocorrência destes foi observada 15% das que foram levadas ao laboratório caracterização dos danos. As apresentavam sintomas redução e encarquilhamento do limbo. Foram coletados 100 indivíduos destas plantas, os quais montados lâminas microscopia identificação taxonômica. identificados como...
Thaumastocoris peregrinus (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) is a new insect pest that associated with the Eucalyptus plantations. The damage caused by this on eucalyptus easily identifiable. There an initial silvering of leaves, which progresses to tanning treetops. This first record T. attacking isolated plants located in municipality São Cristóvão-Sergipe.
The stingless bees are an important component of the insect biomass in many tropical areas, due to their collection nectar and pollen. Trigona spinipes is a widely distributed species South America, described as pollinator crops that can be used commercial pollinating system. effects plant extracts on insects studied because demand for organic food selectivity natural enemies. Plant insecticides reported potential agent control pests, however little known about impact beneficial insects....
Approximately 72 pathogenic viruses have been described affecting the health of Apis mellifera colonies around world, causing weakening and mortality honey bees. The presence in Africanized bees (AHB) Brazil is poorly studied there a lack information about occurrence these country. Therefore, aim this study was to evaluate AHB Brazil. A total 84 A. from apiaries located 15 different Brazilian states were evaluated detect seven viral species (DWV, BQCV, IAPV, ABPV, CBPV, KBV, SBV) by...
We aimed to evaluate the occurrence and level of infestation by Varroa destructor in Apis mellifera from different regions Köppen-Geiger climate typologies Brazil. evaluated a total 159 managed colonies A. (156 Africanized honey bees – AHB + 3 European EHB colonies) distributed across all five Brazilian (Northern, Northeastern, Midwest, Southern, Southeastern) 2014 2017. In each colony, approximately 300 adult were collected detect calculate mite parasitism level, are not treated against...

Entre os anos de 2005 e 2007, foram observados mensalmente danos causados por lagartas sobre as plantas Erythrina velutina (Willd.) no município São Cristovão, Sergipe, Brasil.
