全球化为寄生虫/病原体跨越地理边界并扩展到新宿主提供了机会。微孢子虫病是最严重的成年蜜蜂疾病之一，在蜂群中发病率很高。多年来，蜜蜂微孢子虫被认为是唯一感染国内蜂群的微孢子虫。然而，最近发现中华蜜蜂可以跨越从亚洲蜜蜂（Apis cerana）到广泛用于农作物授粉和蜂蜜生产的欧洲蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）的物种屏障。在过去的几年中，我们对蜜蜂微孢子虫感染的了解取得了相当大的进展。本综述总结了美国和亚洲对意大利蜜蜂微孢子虫感染的先前发现和最新进展，特别强调了两种微孢子虫物种的流行病学、形态学、病理学和基因组组织的比较。还讨论了与蜜蜂微孢子虫疾病研究相关的未来研究前景和尚未解决的问题。
Globalization has provided opportunities for parasites/pathogens to cross geographic boundaries and expand to new hosts. Nosema disease is one of the most serious adult honey bee diseases and has high prevalence in honey bee colonies. For years, Nosema apis was thought to be the only microsporidian infecting domestic bee colonies. However, recently it was discovered that N. ceranae could cross the species barrier from Asian honey bees (Apis cerana) to European honey bees (Apis mellifera) that are widely used for crop pollination and honey production. Over the last few years, considerable progress has been made in our understanding of Nosema infections in honey bees. This review summarizes previous findings and recent progress in the understanding of Nosema infection of A. mellifera in the USA and Asia, with particular emphasis on the comparative epidemiological, morphological, pathological, and genomic organization of two Nosema species. The prospects of future research and remaining unresolved questions associated with the study of honey bee Nosema diseases are also discussed.
