It causes nosemosis, also called nosema, which is the most common and widespread of adult honey bee diseases. [1] The dormant stage of N. apis is a long-lived spore which is resistant to temperature extremes and dehydration, and cannot be killed by freezing the contaminated comb.

Bees infected with CBPV begin to show symptoms after 5 days and die a few days after. [1] Chronic bee paralysis virus infection is a factor that can contribute to or cause the sudden collapse of honeybee colonies. [2] Since honeybees serve a vital role in ecological resilience, it is important to understand factors and diseases that threaten them.

It is the most widespread and destructive of the honey bee brood diseases. It is globally distributed and burning of infected ...
