An improved DNA method to unambiguously detect small hive beetle Aethina tumida, an invasive pest of honeybee colonies

The scavenger and invasive species Aethina tumida threatening the honey bee has been recently introduced in Europe. We present a new, reliable and rapid multiplex real‐time PCR for efficient diagnostics enabling surveillance programs. © 2018 The Authors. Pest Management Science published by John Wil...
