Nosema ceranae is a hot topic in honey bee health as
reflected by numerous papers published every year.
This review presents an update of the knowledge
generated in the last 12 years in the field of
N. ceranae research, addressing the routes of
transmission, population structure and genetic
diversity. This includes description of how the
infection modifies the honey bee’s metabolism, the
immune response and other vital functions. The
effects on individual honey bees will have a direct
impact on the colony by leading to losses in the
adult’s population. The absence of clear clinical
signs could keep the infection unnoticed by the
beekeeper for long periods. The influence of the
environmental conditions, beekeeping practices, bee
genetics and the interaction with pesticides and
other pathogens will have a direct influence on the
prognosis of the disease. This review is approached
from the point of view of the Mediterranean countries
where the professional beekeeping has a high
representation and where this pathogen is reported
as an important threat.
