Ítem Presence of Nosema ceranae in Africanized honey bee colonies in Costa Rica(Journal of Apicultural Research, 2015-03-25) Sánchez Chaves, Luis; Calderón, Rafael; Yanez, Orlando; Fallas, NataliaNosemosis is a severe disease caused by the microsporidian Nosema sp. affecting adult honey bees (Apis mellifera) (Bailey and Ball, 1991). Nosema spores infect the epithelial layer of the ventriculus and midgut of adult bees, causing digestive disorders and shortening the life span of bees, with a resulting decrease in bee population (Ritter, 2001). So far only two microsporidian parasites have been described in honey bees: N. apis and N. ceranae. Nosema apis was the first described microsporidian in honey bees (Zander, 1909)
