“…While they diligently care for their families in the autumn to ensure strong families in the spring, the use of in-hive acaricides, which can promote the emergence of resistant Varroa mites, along with exposure to agricultural chemicals, may explain the increased summer losses. Losses during the brood-rearing season are a concern and may be related to what beekeepers believe to be the main cause of summer losses -"partner problems" (Kirimbayeva et al, 2023).…”

The research relevance is determined by the decline of bee populations in Albania, as the need to understand the dynamics of colony loss and the factors contributing to it is of paramount importance. The study aimed to comprehensively investigate the prevalence and main causes of colony losses, with special attention to Varroa mite infestation, Nosema disease, viral pathogens, pesticides, and bacterial infections. Using the stratified sampling method, 15,493 beekeepers of different ages and experiences participated in the study. Both electronic and face-to-face surveys were used to collect data on bee family losses, management practices and environmental factors affecting bee health. In addition, monitoring programmes allowed a detailed assessment of bee family health and environmental conditions in the apiary, providing valuable information on temporal trends and patterns. The findings indicate alarming rates of Varroa mite infestation, prevalence of Nosema and a complex interplay of factors contributing to colony loss, particularly during the summer and winter months. For example, Varroa mite infestation was found in 61% of the 29,474 bee samples collected during summer sampling, with rates ranging from 0.5% to 70.2%. Similarly, during autumn sampling, 65% of 43,037 bee samples contained Varroa mites, with an average infestation rate of 5.3%. Moreover, Nosema disease is also a complex problem, with clinical prevalence ranging from 0.1% in autumn to 1.3% in summer and spring. These key figures highlight the urgent need to develop effective strategies to reduce Varroa mite infestation and Nosema disease, thereby maintaining bee populations and ecosystem health. The results of the study make a valuable contribution to bee management and policy development, emphasising the importance of holistic approaches to maintaining bee health and resilience in Albania

“…The greatest incidence of dermatophytosis was recorded among children under 14 years of age, 85% of all cases. The increase in morbidity in Kazakhstan can be traced only in an epidemiological way, while little attention is paid to the main source of dermatophytosis—agricultural and domestic animals ( Kirimbayeva et al ., 2023 ). This aspect of the spread of infection remains beyond statistics.…”

Background: There is an increase in the incidence of human and animal infectious skin diseases of fungal aetiology in the world. The main source of infecting the population has become agricultural and stray animals. Aim: The objective of this study was to examine the morphophysiological and microbiological characteristics of pathogenic fungi belonging to the species Trichophyton verrucosum. This species is known to cause diseases in both humans and livestock in Kazakhstan. Additionally, the study aimed to assess the feasibility of using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for detecting T. verrucosum. This assessment was conducted in comparison to the outcomes of conventional laboratory diagnostic tests commonly employed for trichophytosis. Methods: The research focused on analyzing 141 samples of pathological material obtained from calves in Almaty, Turkestan, and Kyzylorda regions. These calves exhibited clinical symptoms of skin disease. The study aimed to identify the causative agent using various techniques, including microscopic examination, microbiological methods involving the isolation of pure cultures, and polymerase chain reaction. Results: The detection of the causative agent of dermatophytosis using conventional methods was relatively low, 86% for the microscopic method and 79% for the microbiological method with the isolation of the culture of the pathogen. Extraction and detection of the genetic material of the causative agent of the disease for polymerase chain reaction was carried out according to the method developed by the authors. The effectiveness of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was 97.9%, which is significantly higher (p<0.05) compared with the diagnostic effectiveness of conventional methods. The polymerase chain reaction method using specific primers identified the causative agent in 98% of cases, which significantly (p<0.05) exceeded the results obtained using conventional diagnostic methods. Accordingly, the PCR method had better sensitivity and specificity indicators. Conclusion: The conducted study allowed recommending the method of PCR diagnosis of dermatophytosis for fast and reliable confirmation of the diagnosis of dermatophytosis in humans and animals in Kazakhstan.
