A high-throughput sequencing survey characterizing European foulbrood disease and Varroosis in honey bees
Abstract As essential pollinators of ecosystems and agriculture, honey bees (Apis mellifera) are host to a variety of pathogens that result in colony loss. Two highly prevalent larval diseases are European foulbrood (EFB) attributed to the bacterium Melissococcus plutonius, and Varroosis wherein lar...
