Abstract

Nosemosis is one of the most important bee diseases causing economic losses in beekeeping, which is one of the significant reasons for Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) in the world. Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae, the microsporidian species, are the main causative agents of Nosemosis in honey bees worldwide. This disease causes digestive system disorders, a decrease in the average life of bees and colony losses. In this review, the general characteristics of Nosemosis disease, and information about the situation in Turkey are given.

Keywords

Honey bees, Microsporidia, Nosemosis, Nosema apis, Nosema ceranae
