The causal organism of European foulbrood of honey bees is the bacterium Melissococcus plutonius. The identification of its presence by the observation of signs of disease in the field is unreliable. The most usual and obvious sign is the death of larvae shortly before they are due to be sealed in their cells, but this may be for reasons other than European foulbrood. 3, record 1, English, - European%20foulbrood

American foulbrood affects the larval stage of the honey bee Apis mellifera and other Apis spp. [species], and occurs throughout the world. Paenibacillus larvae, the causative organism, is a bacterium that can produce over one billion spores in each infected larva. 3, record 2, English, - American%20foulbrood

The names "American foulbrood" and "European foulbrood" have nothing to do with the distribution of these two diseases. It is merely that an American, G.F. White, described one and Europeans described the other, both around 1906. 4, record 2, English, - American%20foulbrood

[...] Shirach descubrió en 1771 la enfermedad que denominó “faux couvain”, que bien pudiera tratarse de la loque y Dzierzon en 1882 reconoció la existencia de dos tipos de loques de las abejas: benigna y curable de larvas no operculadas (loque europea) y maligna e incurable de larvas operculadas (loque americana). [...] Las enfermedades más importantes producidas por bacterias queafectan a las abejas son la loque europea, la loque americana y lasepticemia. 3, record 3, Spanish, - loque
