Amperometric Immunosensor for Rapid Detection of Honeybee Pathogen Melissococcus Plutonius
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Electroanalysis"
DOI: 10.1002/elan.201900252
Abstract: European foulbrood (EFB) is a honeybee larvae disease caused by a bacterium Melissococcus plutonius. An amperometric immunosensor based on a sandwich assay was developed for rapid point-of-care detection of this pathogen. An in-house made anti-Melissococcus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-04862-6
Abstract: The increase in managed honeybees ( Apis mellifera ) in many European cities has unknown effects on the densities of wild bees through competition. To investigate this, we monitored honeybees and non-honeybees from 01 April… read more here.

Pesticides use, practice and its effect on honeybee in Ethiopia: a review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "International Journal of Tropical Insect Science"
DOI: 10.1007/s42690-020-00114-x
Abstract: Honeybees play an essential economic role in the pollination of crops. Farmers were buying, storing, and use pesticides on cultivated plants with no or little consideration of the effect on honeybees. In Ethiopia, pesticide poisoning… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.150351
Abstract: Abstract Pesticide risk-assessment guidelines for honeybees (Apis mellifera) generally require determining the acute toxicity of a chemical over the short-term through fix-duration tests. However, potential long-lasting or delayed effects resulting from an acute exposure (e.g.… read more here.
