Infection of drone larvae (Apis mellifera) with American foulbrood

Behrens, D; Forsgren, E; Fries, I; Moritz, RFA

Sammanfattning

In-vitro reared drone larvae of several sister queens from an Apis mellfra ligustica and a Buckfast breeding line were infected with Paenibacillus larvae (type strain ATCC 9545) causing American foulbrood (AFB). Although drone larvae were susceptible to AFB and could be infected under in-vitro conditions there were differences within and between lineages. Infection sensitivity was higher in the A. m. ligustica line compared to the Buckfast line. Different infection thresholds were found among sister queens of the A. m. ligustica line suggesting a considerable genetic variance for larval resistance against AFB
