Survey of American and European Foulbrood Disease on Honey Bee Colonies in Dakahlia Governorate.

Abstract

It is essential that beekeepers are able to recognize the diseses and distinguish them from foul brood. Survey was carried out in four districts of Dakahlia governorate (Mansura, Metghamer, A Al l-M Me et t s sa al ls si il l and Bilqas) from Sept 2009 to Aug2011. Two bacterial diseases of the honey bee larvae were widespread in all districts which were American and European foulbrood diseases (AFB and EFB). AFB disease is one of the most destructive diseases of the honey bee in all apiaries during autumn and winter however; it is spread sometimes during spring. EFB disease is a bacterial disease that effects honey bee larvae before the capped stage, it spread in all districts during spring and summer.
