Abstract
Purpose
Nosemosis is a disease that infects both Western honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) and Asian honeybees (Apis cerana) and causes colony losses and low productivity worldwide. In order to control nosemosis, it is important to determine the distribution and prevalence of this disease agent in a particular region. For this purpose, a national study was conducted to assess the prevalence of Nosema ceranae and N. apis throughout Türkiye, to perform network analyses of the parasites, and to determine the presence of nosemosis.
Methods
In this study which aimed to assess the prevalence of N. apis and N. ceranae in different colony types and regions where beekeeping is intensive in Türkiye, specimens were collected from hives with no clinical signs.
Results
A total of 1194 Western honeybee colonies in 400 apiaries from 40 provinces of Türkiye were examined by microscopic and molecular techniques. Nosemosis was found in all of 40 provinces. The mean prevalence ratio was 64.3 ± 3.0, with 95% CI in apiaries and 40.5 ± 2.9, 95% CI in hives. Nosema ceranae DNA was detected in all of positive hives, while N. ceranae and N. apis co-infection was detected in only four colonies.
Conclusion
This study showed that nosemosis has spread to all provinces, and it is common in every region of Türkiye. All of the N. ceranae or N. apis samples examined were 100% identical within themselves. Network analysis showed that they were within largest haplotype reported worldwide.
期刊介绍：
Acta Parasitologica is an international journal covering the latest advances in the subject.
Acta Parasitologica publishes original papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in biochemical and molecular biology of parasites, their physiology, morphology, taxonomy and ecology, as well as original research papers on immunology, pathology, and epidemiology of parasitic diseases in the context of medical, veterinary and biological sciences. The journal also publishes short research notes, invited review articles, book reviews.
The journal was founded in 1953 as "Acta Parasitologica Polonica" by the Polish Parasitological Society and since 1954 has been published by W. Stefanski Institute of Parasitology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Since 1992 in has appeared as Acta Parasitologica in four issues per year.
