Hygienic behaviour against diseased brood is the most important factor of disease resistance and likely to be controlled by a small number of loci, which affect a bee’s sensitivity to the stimulus of diseased brood. Disease resistance traits are likely to exceedingly benefit from markers-based models for genetic evaluation. </span> </font> <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Karyay Karadeniz Yayımcılık Ve Organizasyon Ticaret Limited Şirketi}, organization={The study was supported financially by the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Consumer Protection, Germany (Grant 2808HS009).}
