Evaluation of haemocytic immune parameters of different lineages of the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.)
2009
Buczek, Krzysztof | Zoń, Maria
Haemocytic immune parameters of four different lineages of the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.): augustowska (MA), northern (PN), Asta and Norwegian (NRQ) were examined. The lines MA, PN and Asta were under the state control of the bee genome protection while for NRQ was realized a programme of genetic improving. The following haemocytic immune responses were evaluated: phagocytic index and the number of haemocytes active in phagocytosis (Wright's number). The examined parameters for the four lines of non-induced bees did not differ significantly. However, the haemocytic immune response was significantly stronger in immunologically induced worker bees of augustowska and Asta lines in comparison to the worker bees of northern and Norvegian lines. The values of phagocytic index and Wright's number differed significantly.
