Using electron microscopy, the pathogenesis of American foulbrood disease was followed from ingestion ofBacillus larvaespores by young, susceptible honey bee larvae to death of the host and sporulation of the pathogen. Interaction between the host peritrophic membrane andB. larvaevegetatives is described. Phagocytosis was demonstrated to be a mechanism of entry of pathogen into host midgut cells. No evidence of enzymatic digestion of peritrophic membrane or host-cell microvilli was found during the initial interaction of pathogen and host midgut cell, although eventual lysis of host gut cells may have been the result of enzymatic activity. Following entry of bacteria into the hemocoel, host death resulted from systemic bacteremia.
