Identification of Nosema ceranae in the Valparaíso District, Chile

This study aimed to demonstrate for the first time the presence of Nosema ceranae in the Valparaíso District. The analised bee samples were obtained in the Valparaíso Region, between 2011 and 2012, from beehives located in San Antonio, Limache and La Ligua. Samples obtained from groups of 60 bees we...
