dc.description.abstractNosema ceranae is a highly prevalent intracellular parasite of honey bees’ midgut worldwide. This Microsporidium was monitored during a long-term study to evaluate the infection at apiary and intra-colony levels in six apiaries in four Mediterranean countries (France, Israel, Portugal, and Spain). Parameters on colony strength, honey production, beekeeping management, and climate were also recorded. Except for São Miguel (Azores, Portugal), all apiaries were positive for N. ceranae, with the lowest prevalence in mainland France and the highest intra-colony infection in Israel. A negative correlation between intra-colony infection and colony strength was observed in Spain and mainland Portugal. In these two apiaries, the queen replacement also influenced the infection levels. The highest colony losses occurred in mainland France and Spain, although they did not correlate with the Nosema infection levels, as parasitism was low in France and high in Spain. These results suggest that both the effects and the level of N. ceranae infection depends on location and beekeeping conditions. Further studies on host-parasite coevolution, and perhaps the interactions with other pathogens and the role of honey bee genetics, could assist in understanding the difference between nosemosis disease and infection, to develop appropriate strategies for its control.pt_PT
dc.description.sponsorshipThe authors would like to thank the editor Dr. Perez-Losada and two anonymous reviewers for their valuable suggestions and comments. M. Caballer MNHN e-RECOLNAT (ANR-11-INBS-0004) and Ms. Virginie Heros, Mollusks, Museum national d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris are acknowledged for the photographs of the types of Unio mansuyi, Unio rochechouartii, and Unio affinis used in this paper and their assistance with specimens in their collection. Ms. Krasimira (Kasey) Seizova, Drexel University Co-op student working in the Malacology Department, Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, Philadelphia took the photographs of the type specimen of Gibbosula confragosa. These pictures were taken for the ANSP type project and used with the permission of Dr. Gary Rosenberg. Pictures of the NCSM specimen of Gibbosula crassa were taken by Ms. Raquel Fagundo and Ms. Joanna Cox; those of the Margaritiferid hinge plates were taken by Macauley Whiting, all in the Non-Molluscan Invertebrate Unit, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Raleigh, NC with permission of Dr. Bronwyn Williams. Jeffrey T. Garner, Florence, Alabama provided assistance with the USNM ledgers. He Jing, Shell Discoveries and ConchBooks are acknowledged for the permission to reproduce the figures from Qian et al. 2015 for the description of Gibbosula nanningensis.
