Biology and control of Varroa destructor. (2010, background): “destructor and Nosema ceranae (Anderson and East, 2008; Cox-Foster et al., 2007; Higes et al., 2008; Ribiere et al., 2008), environmental factors including pesticides, GM crops (Desneux et al.”
Pollen nutrition affects honey bee stress resistance (2012, background): “N. ceranae was thought to be a key player for colony collapse in honey bee population in Spain ( Higes et al., 2008 ), but several studies concluded that Nosema alone was not the cause of CCD in the U.S. ( vanEngelsdorp et al., 2009 ), Germany ( Genersch et al., 2010 ) or Canada (Guzmán-Novoa,…”
A historical review of managed honey bee populations in Europe and the United States and the factors that may affect them. (2010, background): “It has been suggested that N. ceranae may be more virulent than N. apis when infecting A. mellifera, and it has been reported to cause severe colony losses, especially in southern Europe (Higes et al., 2007, 2008).”
Dominance of Nosema ceranae in honey bees in the Balkan countries in the absence of symptoms of colony collapse disorder (2011, background): “In addition, the recent reports of causative association between the presence of N. ceranae, bee losses (Martín-Hernández et al. 2007) and the sudden colony collapse of western honey bees due to N. ceranae (Higes et al., 2008, 2009b) justify such investigations.”
Nutritional stress due to habitat loss may explain recent honeybee colony collapses. (2009, background): “Observations that bees found dying or dead outside show significantly higher levels of infection (Harrison et al., 2001; Higes et al., 2008) than bees found within the colony emphasize that bees experiencing a metabolic stress due to infection are deficient in returning to the colony from a foraging”
Dynamic modelling of honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony growth and failure (2013, background): “2005) will also cause early foraging, as will various sub-lethal infections of adult bees, especially Nosema (Higes et al., 2008; Tofilski, 2002, 2009).”
The stability and effectiveness of fumagillin in controlling Nosema ceranae (Microsporidia) infection in honey bees (Apis mellifera) under laboratory and field conditions (2011, methodology): “In September 2006, prior to the onset of treatment with fumagillin, Nosema infection was confirmed by phase contrast microscopy and PCR (MartínHernández et al. 2007; Higes et al. 2008) in 30 forager honey bees from each of the experimental colonies 366 M.”
