Histopathological and histochemical changes in honeybee larvae (Apis mellifera L.) after infection with Bacillus larvae, the causative agent of American foulbrood disease.
Morphological, histochemical and cytochemical changes were examined in honeybee larvae after infection with the bacterium Bacillus larvae. The results indicate cell necrosis in the midgut epithelium accompanied by increasing cell vacuolization and nuclear pyknosis following per os inoculation with B. larvae. Many autolysosomes were positive for acid phosphatase. Non-vacuolar acid phosphatase activity was also found in lysed cell compartments. No such activity was found in regenerative epithelial cells. Degradation of haemocytes, salivary glands and other tissues was also observed. Histochemical analyses after per cutaneous inoculation with B. larvae of three- and five-day-old honeybee larvae show intense non-vacuolar acid phosphatase activity followed by disintegration of infected salivary glands, epithelial cell cytoplasm and haemocytes.
