American foulbrood of honey bees (AFB)

Definition

For the purposes of the Terrestrial Code, American foulbrood is a disease of the larval and pupal stages of honey bees (species of the genus Apis) caused by Paenibacillus larvae (P. larvae), which is widely distributed. P. larvae is a bacterium that can produce over one billion spores in each infected larva. The spores are very long-living and extremely resistant to heat and chemical agents, and only the spores are capable of inducing the disease.
