Identification and Discrimination of Volatiles Associated With Chalkbrood Infection in European Honey Bees (Apis Mellifera), Eastern Australia

2023-03-24

Abstract excerpt

Chalkbrood disease in honey bees is caused by the fungal pathogen Ascosphaera apis. Transmission occurs when developing larvae are fed brood food containing infectious spores. These spores germinate in the larval gut producing hyphae which penetrate the larval cuticle and can sporulate on the cadaver. Infection with A. apis can trigger changes in larval volatile profiles, producing chemical cues that influence col...
