Honeybee brood metagenomics uncovers genomic diversity of modern and historical Paenibacillus larvae
2025-02-22
Abstract excerpt
The Western honey bee, Apis mellifera , plays a vital role in ecology, agriculture, and the economy, making the global decline in honey bee populations and colony losses a critical concern. Here we present a novel metagenomic approach for studying American Foulbrood (AFB), a severe bacterial disease caused by Paenibacillus larvae , by directly sequencing DNA from infected bee brood samples. Using this method, we...
