Putative determinants of virulence in Melissococcus plutonius, the bacterial agent causing European foulbrood in honey bees
Melissococcus plutonius is a bacterial pathogen that causes epidemic outbreaks of European foulbrood (EFB) in honey bee populations. The pathogenicity of a bacterium depends on its virulence, and understanding the mechanisms influencing virulence may allow for improved disease control and containmen...
