Abstract (EN)

The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of Nosema disease caused by Nosema carenea and Nosema apis in bee colonies in Kırşehir. A hundred worker honey bee samples were collected from each of 51 beekeepers in 31 locations in 5 provinces of Kırşehir (Centrium, Mucur, Akpınar, Boztepe and Kaman) in July 2014. A total 5100 samples were used in this study. The microscopic examinations of the study suggested that there was existence of Nosema in Centrium, Mucur, Akpınar and Boztepe with 25%, 23.07%, 12.5% and 60%, respectively; whereas no spores were detected in Kaman province. Positive correlation was found between number of spores and humidity. Molecular analyses showed that N. Ceranae is the only Nosema type in studied positive samples.
