The microsporidium Nosema ceranae is an emergent pathogen of European honeybees Apis mellifera. Using a PCR-RFLP diagnosis, 29 samples of infected honeybees obtained in 2007-2008 (N=26), 2004 (N=2) and before 1990 (N=1) were analyzed for the presence of Nosema apis and N. ceranae. Only N. ceranae was found in all samples, indicating that this species dispersed to Uruguay (and likely the region) at some time before 1990. The presence of N. ceranae in Uruguay is not associated with an increase of Nosemosis, and its role in colony loss seems to be irrelevant.
微孢子虫蜜蜂微孢子虫是欧洲蜜蜂意大利蜜蜂的一种新兴病原体。采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)诊断方法,对2007 - 2008年采集的29份感染蜜蜂样本(N = 26)、2004年采集的样本(N = 2)以及1990年以前采集的样本(N = 1)进行分析,以检测蜜蜂微孢子虫和蜜蜂微孢子虫的存在情况。所有样本中仅发现了蜜蜂微孢子虫,这表明该物种在1990年之前的某个时间扩散到了乌拉圭(可能还有该地区)。乌拉圭蜜蜂微孢子虫的存在与微孢子虫病的增加无关,其在蜂群损失中的作用似乎也不相关。
