“…However, many recent reports show that another species of the same genus, N. ceranae Fries (Fries et al, 1996), infects A. mellifera almost worldwide (Huang et al, 2005(Huang et al, , 2007Higes et al, 2006;Fries et al, 2006;Klee et al, 2007;Paxton et al, 2007;Chauzat et al, 2007;Chen et al, 2008;Williams et al, 2008a;Invernizzi et al, 2009;Tapaszti et al, 2009;Giersch et al, 2009). Those reports also confirm that N. ceranae is not restricted to A. cer-apis alone and not N. ceranae and that N. ceranae, as an exotic parasite of A. mellifera, is displacing N. apis in A. mellifera populations.…”

“…N. ceranae was confirmed in many European countries (Paxton, Klee, Korpela, & Fries, 2007) including Canada and USA (Williams, Shafer, Rogers, Shutler, & Stewart, 2008). N. ceranae infects A. mellifera populations elsewhere in the world (Chen, Evans, Smith, & Pettis, 2008;Giersch, Berg, Galea, & Hornitzky, 2009;Higes, Martin, & Meana, 2006, Huang, Jiang, Chen, & Wang, 2007Invernizzi et al, 2009. Nosema spores which are present in faeces but can also be found in pollen, infect adult bees upon ingestion (Higes et al, 2008).…”

European honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are important pollinators of many fruits, nuts, vegetables and field crops. Honey bees also pollinate different wild flowering plants and help to maintain the ecosystems. Currently, these pollinators are facing a number of threats including habitat destruction, pesticides, mites, parasites and loss of genetic diversity. Because of the decline in their number, there is a great loss of ecological services which impacts the world's economy. This review of honey bee and pollination issues highlights the need of protection and conservation of these important pollinators. Research is required to quantify the synergistic effects of potential drivers for current colony loss and to identify the ecotypes and native species of honey bees which are more resistant to pests, pathogens and pesticides.

“…N. apis was first described in the European honey bee, Apis mellifera (Zander 1909) and N. ceranae was first known to infect the Asian cavity nesting honey bee, Apis cerana (Fries et al 1996). However, recent studies have shown that N. ceranae is becoming the dominant species infecting A. mellifera worldwide and may be more virulent than N. apis (Fries et al 2006;Higes et al 2006;Chauzat et al 2007;CoxFoster et al 2007;Huang et al 2007; Klee et al 2007;Paxton et al 2007;Chen et al 2008;Williams et al 2008;Chaimanee et al 2010). Nosema infection occurs when spores are ingested through contaminated food and water (Webster 1993).…”

-Nosema ceranae is a microsporidium parasite infecting honey bees worldwide. All colony members including workers, drones, and queens can become infected. In this study, we inoculated queens of age 1, 6, and 12 days post-adult emergence, with N. ceranae spores of different doses and allowed them to age an additional 12 days. The results indicated that younger queens were indeed more susceptible to N. ceranae inoculation than older queens. Moreover, this is the first report of the effects of N. ceranae inoculation on immune gene expression in queens of different ages. Our results demonstrated that the expression of genes related to the bee immunity apidaecin, eater, and vitellogenin in the gut and the remaining abdomen was different among queens of different ages when inoculated with N. ceranae. All three ages of queens inoculated by N. ceranae showed upregulation of apidaecin in gut tissue 6 days after inoculation, but only in queens aged 1 day post-emergence were the differences significant. However, transcript levels of eater were increased in all three ages of queens when sampled on day 12, and significant differences were obtained in queens inoculated at 6 and 12 days post-emergence. We clearly show that immune responses to N. ceranae changes as queen age and this knowledge may provide clues for understanding the ability of queens to resist infection by this gut parasite.Nosema ceranae / honey bee queen / Apis mellifera / supersedure / immunity
