The World Animal Health Organization released today its follow-up report Nš 1, based on the information provided by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, regarding the expansion of SHB in Quebec. The full report can be accessed at:
http://www.oie.int/wahis/public.php?page=single_report&pop=1&reportid=7571
By the way, the first report can be found http://www.oie.int/wahis/public.php?page=single_report&pop=1&reportid=7393. This report details the extent of the first five SHB outbreaks in Quebec
It is interesting to note that Aethina tumida specimens found in Quebec match haplotype US2 found previously in the USA and are different from specimens found in Alberta in 2006 (which were similar to Australian isolates).
1) Is anyone on this list aware about all SHB haplotypes found in the USA and how they correlate to both Australian and South African SHB?
2) Does somebody know about the haplotypes present in crosses between Australian SHB and American SHB?
Sincerely
Martin Braunstein
