The Foster method: Rapid and non-invasive detection of clinically significant American Foulbrood disease levels using eDNA sampling and a dual-target qPCR assay, with its potential for other hive pathogens
2021-06-19
Abstract excerpt
Clinical signs of American Foulbrood (AFB) can be difficult to diagnose and thus disease is often missed and leads to further spread. Diagnosis is centred on the beekeeper’s skill in recognising clinical symptoms – a highly subjective and time-consuming activity.
