A lecture given by Kirsty Stainton at the 2018 National Honey Show entitled "AFB/EFB typing and Chronic bee paralysis virus" The National Honey Show also gratefully acknowledge the Worshipful Company of Wax Chandlers for their support and Bee Diseases Insurance Ltd (BDI) for their sponsorship.
Kirsty will provide an overview of the genetic typing of American and European foulbrood, how to recognize symptoms of these diseases and how research into different "types" of EFB could help control this disease. Kirsty will also talk about Chronic bee paralysis virus and how to recognize the symptoms of CBPV, she will also give details on how new research might help us understand the potentially devastating effects of this virus
