Haemocyte changes in honeybee (Apis mellifera L) artificially infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract: Summary — The changes in haemocytes of honeybees artificially infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27014 (P apiseptica), the bacterium known to cause septicaemia, were studied. It was found that the time of clinical manifestation did not significantly affect total and differential haemocyte counts. In the haemolymph of infected bees which showed no clinical symptoms the percentage of oval plasmatocytes was higher (P ≤ 0.05), while the percentage of round plasmatocytes was lower (P ≤ 0.05) 10 h… Show more

“…The total number of haemocytes increased, as did the proportion of older haemocytes which may be nutrient cells, while there were fewer young haemocytes as described by other authors as plasmatocytes or prohaemocytes (Wienands et al, 1987;Wienands and Madel, 1988;van Steenkiste, 1988;Papadopoulou-Karabela et al, 1993). Our results are in agreement with those of previous studies that found that plasmatocytes are the most numerous cells in haemolymph of young honeybee from free-flying colonies (Jędruszuk, 1998a(Jędruszuk, ,1998b(Jędruszuk, , 1998c.…”

“…Generally, it could be concluded that during the first period of the one hour of the microbial injection an elongation and minor abnormalities were occurred in some Paenibacillus larvae spore's effects on the blood cells of immature and mature honey bee workers were detected by Zakaria (2007). Papadopoulou et al, (2003) reported that blood cells of the honey bees artificially infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa cause septicemia showed not significantly effect on the total and differential haemocyte counts. Also, deficient nutrition can impair immune function and increase the susceptibility of individuals to disease as suggested by Alaux et al,…”
