Worker genetic diversity and infection by Nosema apis in honey bee colonies.

Folia biologica - 1 Jan 2001

Woyciechowski M, Król E

Abstract excerpt

The hypothesis that parasites and pathogens select for polyandry in eusocial Hymenoptera was tested, using the honey bee Apis mellifera and its microsporidian parasite Nosema apis. Five honey bee colonies with low and five with high worker genetic diversity were infected with N. apis spores. At 54-56 days after inoculation, parasite spores in the workers' midguts were counted to determine whether there was a...
