European foulbrood in Czechia after 40 years: application of next-generation sequencing to analyze <i>Melissococcus plutonius</i> transmission and influence on the bacteriome of <i>Apis mellifera</i>
2016-12-06
Abstract excerpt
Worker honeybees ( Apis mellifera ) transmit Melissococcus plutonius between colonies. However, the transmission of M. plutonius , which causes European foulbrood (EFB), is poorly understood. To analyze the first EFB outbreak in 40 years in Czechia, we collected 49 hive worker samples from 18 beehives in two diseased apiaries for bacteriome analysis of the V1-V3 portion of the 16S rRNA gene. When we compared co...
