Cel Bumblebee rearing for pollination is a necessary tool for farming of many crops. In spite of observations of microsporidian infections in 14 different bumblebee species, only one microsporidium, Norseman bomb, has been described from bumblebees. For production of bumblebee colonies it is essential to know the causative agents of disease for proper control. To avoid introduction of novel or non-endemic parasites into new areas or host species, it is vital to study Microsporidia in bumble bees (colonies are transported over long distances). We wish to document Microsporidia diversity in bumblebees, study cross-infectivity across species, costs they exert on their hosts and examine patterns of clad genesis between Microsporidia and their hosts. Further, we wish to develop a PCR-based tool for Microsporidia detection, document infection incidence in the field and in rearing operations and develop effective control strategies Dziedzina nauki natural sciencesbiological sciencesecologyecosystemsagricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesagriculture Program(-y) FP5-LIFE QUALITY - Specific Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Quality of life and management of living resources", 1998-2002 Temat(-y) 1.1.1.-5. - Key action Sustainable Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Zaproszenie do składania wniosków Data not available System finansowania CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Koordynator THE SWEDISH UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES Wkład UE Brak danych Adres Ulls vaeg, 16 750 07 Uppsala Szwecja Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych Uczestnicy (4) Sortuj alfabetycznie Sortuj według wkładu UE Rozwiń wszystko Zwiń wszystko LUND UNIVERSITY Szwecja Wkład UE Brak danych Adres Helgonavaegen 3B 223 62 LUND Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych SWISS FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ZUERICH Szwajcaria Wkład UE Brak danych Adres Clausiusstrasse 25 8092 ZURICH Zobacz na mapie Koszt całkowity Brak danych SYNGENTA BIOLINE BEES B.V.
