Obiettivo 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 Campo scientifico natural sciencesbiological sciencesecologyecosystemsagricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesagriculture Programma(i) FP5-LIFE QUALITY - Specific Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Quality of life and management of living resources", 1998-2002 Argomento(i) 1.1.1.-5. - Key action Sustainable Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Invito a presentare proposte Data not available Meccanismo di finanziamento CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinatore THE SWEDISH UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Ulls vaeg, 16 750 07 Uppsala Svezia Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Partecipanti (4) Classifica in ordine alfabetico Classifica per Contributo UE Espandi tutto Riduci tutto LUND UNIVERSITY Svezia Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Helgonavaegen 3B 223 62 LUND Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato SWISS FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ZUERICH Svizzera Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Clausiusstrasse 25 8092 ZURICH Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato SYNGENTA BIOLINE BEES B.V.
