Microbial Diversity in Honeybees de Charles Wick

Microbial Diversity in Honeybees

Autor Charles Wick, David Wick
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 mai 2021

Recomandăm Microbial Diversity in Honeybees ca o resursă tehnică esențială pentru cercetătorii și profesioniștii din domeniul apiculturii și siguranței alimentare, oferind o bază solidă pentru înțelegerea declinului populațiilor de albine prin prisma microbiomului. Lucrarea se distinge prin rigoarea metodologică, utilizând tehnologia proteomică și spectrometria de masă pentru a cartografia diversitatea microbiană, o abordare care extinde cadrul propus de Honeybees de Danièle Dreesen cu date noi obținute prin analize moleculare avansate.

Am apreciat organizarea sistematică a volumului, care ghidează cititorul de la fundamentele spectrometriei de masă către analize specifice pe segmente biologice, precum aparatul digestiv al albinei (Bee Gut). Autorii, Charles Wick și David Wick, nu se limitează la o descriere generală, ci includ secțiuni dedicate bacteriilor, fungilor, virusurilor și parazitului Nosema, oferind inclusiv date despre prezența coronavirusurilor în acest ecosistem. Structura este întregită de o serie impresionantă de anexe (de la A la P) care prezintă mediile regionale pentru diverse microorganisme în state precum California sau Florida, facilitând o analiză comparativă geografică.

Spre deosebire de manualele care se concentrează pe metodele standard de cercetare a patogenilor, cum este COLOSS BEE BOOK VOL II coordonat de Vincent Dietemann, acest volum publicat de CRC Press pune accentul pe date brute și ilustrații tehnice detaliate. Cele 136 de figuri și diagrame susțin textul dens, transformând această apariție într-un instrument de referință pentru diagnosticarea și monitorizarea sănătății coloniilor de albine la nivel industrial.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este indispensabilă entomologilor și specialiștilor din industria apicolă care doresc să înțeleagă cauzele invizibile ale declinului albinelor. Cititorul câștigă acces la date proteomice de ultimă oră și la o hartă detaliată a microbiomului pe regiuni geografice. Este un instrument de diagnostic precis care transformă observația empirică în știință aplicată, oferind dovezi clare despre diversitatea microbiană și impactul acesteia asupra polenizatorilor.

Despre autor

Charles Wick și David Wick sunt cercetători recunoscuți pentru contribuțiile lor în domeniul analizei microbiene și proteomice. Expertiza lor se concentrează pe aplicarea tehnologiilor avansate de detectare a agenților patogeni în sisteme biologice complexe. Prin activitatea lor în cadrul acestui volum publicat de CRC Press, aceștia aduc o perspectivă tehnică riguroasă asupra sănătății albinelor, utilizând spectrometria de masă pentru a oferi soluții bazate pe date în contextul crizei globale a polenizatorilor.

Descriere scurtă

Honeybees are an important link in our food chain because they are major pollinators of food crops. In recent years, honeybee populations have declined precipitously perhaps due to changes in their microbiome. This book describes and identifies the bee microbiome using a proteomics technology. Chapters include the detection and identification of microbes found in honeybees collected around the United States. This book contains new data and illustrates the rich diversity of microbes as collected by honeybees. It is a must read for everyone concerned about the honeybee and working in the industry.

Notă biografică

Dr. Charles H. Wick is a retired senior scientist from the US Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) where he served both as a manager and research physical scientist and has made significant contributions to forensic science. Although his 40–year professional career has spanned both the public sector and the military, his better-known work in the area of forensic science has occurred in concert with the Department of Defense (DOD). He is a founding member of BIOid, Inc.
Dr. Wick earned four degrees from the University of Washington and worked in the private sector (civilian occupations) for twelve years, leading to a patent, numerous publications, and international recognition among his colleagues.
In 1983, Dr. Wick joined the Vulnerability/Lethality Division of the United States Army Ballistic Research Laboratory, where he quickly achieved recognition as a manager and principal investigator. It was at this point that he made one of his first major contributions to forensic science and to the field of antiterrorism; his team was the first to utilize current technology to model sub-lethal chemical, biological, and nuclear agents. This achievement was beneficial to all areas of the Department of Defense, as well as to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and gained Wick international acclaim as an authority on individual performance for operations conducted on a nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) battlefield.
During his career in the United States Army, Wick rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Chemical Corps. He served as a Unit Commander for several rotations, a staff officer for six years (he was a Division Chemical Staff Officer for two rotations), Deputy Program Director Biological Defense Systems, and retired from the position of Commander of the 485th Chemical Battalion in April of 1999.
Dr. Wick continued to work for the DOD as a civilian at the ECBC. Two notable achievements, and one which earned him the Department of the Army Research and Development Award for Technical Excellence and a Federal Laboratory Consortium Technology Transfer Award in 2002, include his invention of the Integrated Virus Detection System (IVDS), a fast-acting, highly portable, user-friendly, extremely accurate and efficient system for detecting the presence of viruses for the purpose of detection, screening, and characterization. The IVDS can detect the full spectrum of known, unknown, and mutated viruses. This system is compact, portable, and does not rely upon elaborate chemistry. The second, and equally award winning, was his creation and leadership in the development of software designed for detecting and identifying microbes using Mass Spectrometry Proteomics. Each of these projects represents determined ten year efforts and is novel in their approaches to the detection and classification of microbes from complex matrices. Both topics are the subjects of two of his books published by CRC Press (Identifying Microbes by Mass Spectrometry Proteomics, 2013, and Integrated Virus Detection, 2014).
Throughout his career, Dr. Wick has made lasting and important contributions to forensic science and to the field of antiterrorism. Dr. Wick holds several U.S. Patents in the area of microbe detection and classification. He has written more than forty-five civilian and military publications and has received myriad awards and citations, including the Department of the Army Meritorious Civilian Service Medal, the Department of the Army Superior Civilian Service Award, two United States Army Achievement Medals for Civilian Service, the Commander's Award for Civilian Service, the Technical Cooperation Achievement Award and twenty-five other decorations and awards for military and community service.
David Wick brings 21 years of demonstrated ability to implement new or novel uses of technology. Ongoing and currently, Mr. Wick is currently providing services to the nations beekeepers as a virus and disease monitoring service. Mr. Wick has introduced and briefed this novel use of IVDS technology to Lawrence Livermore National Lab, Livermore, CA; Plum Island Animal Research Station, Orient Point, NY, (detection of hoof-in-mouth recovery from barnyard ground samples); CDC Bio Terrorism Lab, Atlanta, GA; NIAID, Bethesda, MD (work on hepatitis virus); Washington Hospital Center – Washington DC to screen patients in the ER for an early warning to a viral outbreak; PACCOM, San Diego, CA (potential use on war ships as an early warning of a viral outbreak); Titan Corp., San Diego, CA; Homeland Security Science and Technology, Washington D.C (application as an air-sampling in subway stations as an early detection for a bio-attack).; NYCDOPH, NY,NY (to monitor public viral loads); Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks (Bighorn Sheep); Idaho Fish and Game (Mallard Duck die-off); University of Montana (surface recovery in several locations); Charles River Laboratory, MA (virus verification and detection in research animals); EPA – Cincinnati (waste water testing – in 2019 BVS won 2nd place in a worldwide competition to detect viruses in waste water using the IVDS technology – awarded a monetary prize).
