European foulbrood of honey bees (EFB)

Definition

For the purposes of the Terrestrial Code, European foulbrood is a disease of the larval and pupal stages of honey bees (species of the genus Apis), caused by Melissococcus plutonius (M. plutonius), a non-sporulating bacterium, which is widely distributed. Subclinical infections are common and require laboratory diagnosis. Infection remains enzootic because of mechanical contamination of the honeycombs. Recurrences of disease can therefore be expected in subsequent years.
