Seasonal prevalence of pathogens and parasites in the savannah honeybee (Apis mellifera scutellata)

Abstract: The loss of Apis mellifera L. colonies in recent years has, in many regions of the world, been alarmingly In spite of hosting few pathogens, yet most parasites, A. m. scutellata colonies appeared to be healthy.

“…The tolerance of these honeybees for higher infestation rates could be due to the absence of deleterious virus (e.g. deformed wing virus) outbreaks in the honeybee and Varroa populations used in this study (Strauss et al 2013). This is in contrast to other parts of the world where Varroa mites and honeybee viruses are very prevalent and may have contributed to the weakening and mortality of a significant number of honeybee colonies (Berthoud et al 2010;Genersch et al 2010;Martin et al 2012;Francis et al 2013).…”

“…However, the positive effects of acaricide treatment might have appeared over a longer period, while the debilitating effects of mite presence could have accumulated over time in untreated colonies. Given that mortality due to the mite has not been reported in the A. m. scutellata population 6-7 years after the initial invasion (Allsopp 2006) and recently (Strauss et al 2013;Pirk et al 2014), this is unlikely.…”

“…There are many reports confirming the presence of N. apis (Hussein 2001a, b;Swart et al 2001;Fries and Raina 2003;Ellis and Munn 2005;Strauss et al 2013;Mumoki et al 2014) in Africa, but there are only two reports of N. ceranae in colonies from Algeria and Benin (Higes et al 2009;Cornelissen et al 2011). N. apis and N. ceranae are microsporidian gut parasites that cause nosemosis in adult honeybees.…”

“…The following parameters were recorded: infertility (live and dead foundresses with no offspring), fertility (production of offspring), fecundity (number of offspring produced), number of mature daughters, and presence (alive and dead) or absence of adult males (Dietemann et al 2013). …”

“…Foundresses were distinguished from mature daughters by their darker colouration (Dietemann et al 2013), which can be a reliable distinction in some African honeybee sub-species due to the short post-capping time (Moritz, 1985). Cells containing one foundress were considered in determining Varroa reproductive success.…”
