Abstract:The microsporidian Nosema parasites, primarily Nosema ceranae, remain critical threats to the health of the honey bee Apis mellifera. One promising intervention approach is the breeding of Nosema-resistant honey bee colonies using molecular technologies, for example marker-assisted selection (MAS). For this, specific genetic markers used in bee selection should be developed. The objective of the paper is to search for associations between some microsatellite markers and Nosema disease in a dark forest bee Apis… Show more
“…The most promising molecular genetic markers for determining resistance to nosemosis in dark forest bees are microsatellite loci AC117 , Ap243, and SV185 , which were investigated by Ostroverkhova [ 8 ].…”
