Nosema ceranae is a Microsporidia recently described as a parasite in Apis mellifera honeybees in Europe. Due to the short time since its description, no epidemiological data are available. In this study, spore detection in both pollen baskets and pollen collected from commercial traps is described (PCM, TEM and PCR methods). Spore infectivity is shown after artificial infection of Nosema-free adult bees. The epidemiological consequences of the presence of Nosema spores in corbicular pollen require more study and must be considered in beekeeping practices.
蜜蜂微孢子虫是一种最近在欧洲被描述为西方蜜蜂寄生虫的微孢子虫。由于其被描述的时间较短,尚无流行病学数据。在本研究中,描述了在花粉筐和从商业诱捕器收集的花粉中检测孢子的方法(PCM、TEM和PCR方法)。在对无微孢子虫的成年蜜蜂进行人工感染后显示出孢子的感染性。花粉筐花粉中存在微孢子虫孢子的流行病学后果需要更多研究,并且在养蜂实践中必须加以考虑。
