A nationwide molecular survey on Trypanosomatids occurrence in Italian honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies
Trypanosomatids are among the honey bee parasites with still unclarified epidemiology and pathogenicity. Our current understanding of their distribution in colonies is provided by studies conducted in a limited number of countries, specific areas, or small sample sizes. This study presents the first extensive Italian survey of Lotmaria passim, Crithidia mellificae, and C. bombi occurrence in managed honey bee colonies. Only L. passim was detected over the two-year sampling period, which showed low prevalence nationwide. Overall, the prevalence varied significantly between the two monitoring years but no significant seasonal or regional trend emerged.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports focuses on aspects of veterinary parasitology that are of regional concern, which is especially important in this era of climate change and the rapid and often unconstrained travel of people and animals. Relative to regions, this journal will accept papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites within the field of veterinary medicine. Also, case reports will be considered as they add to information related to local disease and its control; such papers must be concise and represent appropriate medical intervention. Papers on veterinary parasitology from wildlife species are acceptable, but only if they relate to the practice of veterinary medicine. Studies on vector-borne bacterial and viral agents are suitable, but only if the paper deals with vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals. Studies dealing with parasite control by means of natural products, both in vivo and in vitro, are more suited for one of the many journals that now specialize in papers of this type. However, due to the regional nature of much of this research, submissions may be considered based upon a case being made by the author(s) to the Editor. Circumstances relating to animal experimentation must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (obtainable from: Executive Secretary C.I.O.M.S., c/o W.H.O., Via Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland).
