Beschreibung:
In colony collapse disorder (CCD), honey bee colonies inexplicably lose their workers. CCD has resulted in a loss of 50 to 90% of colonies in beekeeping operations across the United States. The observation that irradiated combs from affected colonies can be repopulated with naive bees suggests that infection may contribute to CCD. We used an unbiased metagenomic approach to survey microflora in CCD hives, normal hives, and imported royal jelly. Candidate pathogens were screened for significance of association with CCD by the examination of samples collected from several sites over a period of 3 years. One organism, Israeli acute paralysis virus of bees, was strongly correlated with CCD.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cox-Foster, Diana L -- Conlan, Sean -- Holmes, Edward C -- Palacios, Gustavo -- Evans, Jay D -- Moran, Nancy A -- Quan, Phenix-Lan -- Briese, Thomas -- Hornig, Mady -- Geiser, David M -- Martinson, Vince -- vanEngelsdorp, Dennis -- Kalkstein, Abby L -- Drysdale, Andrew -- Hui, Jeffrey -- Zhai, Junhui -- Cui, Liwang -- Hutchison, Stephen K -- Simons, Jan Fredrik -- Egholm, Michael -- Pettis, Jeffery S -- Lipkin, W Ian -- U01AI070411/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U54AI57158/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Oct 12;318(5848):283-7.
