Item Andrena species (Hymenoptera : Apoidea : Andrenidae) from Western Algeria, with a preliminary assessment of their pollen preferences(Taylor & Francis, 2021) Dermane, Abdelkader; Bendifallah, Leila; Michez, Denis; Wood, Thomas J.Algeria, the largest country in Africa, has a species rich bee fauna because of its ecological conditions, climate and diversified flora. The present work represents a list of the genus Andrena Fabricius, 1775 in western Algeria. The survey, carried out during the period 2017–2019, has allowed identification of 56 species of Andrena in a total of 787 specimens (496 females, 291 males), with one species new for the fauna of Algeria, Andrena (Aenandrena) hystrix Schmiedeknecht, 1883. Preliminary pollen preferences of the most common species were analysed in Algeria for the first time, comprising seven polylectic and 12 oligolectic species. The current work provides a baseline for future studies on the diet of Andrena and is one of the first studies on the floral preferences of North African beesItem Distribution and variability of deformed wing virusof honeybees (Apis mellifera) in the Middle East and NorthAfrica(wiley, 2015) Jamal Haddad, Nizar; Adjlane, Noureddine; Al-Shagour, Banan; Loucif-Ayad, Wahida; El-Niweiri, Mogbel A. A.; Anaswah, Eman; Abu Hammour, Wafaa; El-Obeid, Dany; Albaba, Imad; Shebl, Mohamed; Abdulhusien, Sehen Almaleky; Nasher, Abdullah; Nagara, Walid; Bergigui, Mohamed Fouad; Ya ̃nez, Orlando; de Miranda, Joachim R.Three hundred and eleven honeybee samples from 12 countries in the Mid-dle East and North Africa (MENA) (Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia,Algeria, Morocco, Yemen, Palestine, and Sudan) were analyzed for the presence of de-formed wing virus (DWV). The prevalence of DWV throughout the MENA region waspervasive, but variable. The highest prevalence was found in Lebanon and Syria, withprevalence dropping in Palestine, Jordan, and Egypt before increasing slightly movingwestwards to Algeria and Morocco Phylogenetic analysis of a 194 nucleotide section ofthe DWV Lp gene did not identify any significant phylogenetic resolution among thesamples, although the sequences did show consistent regional clustering, including an in-teresting geographic gradient from Morocco through North Africa to Jordan and Syria. Thesequences revealed several clear variability hotspots in the deduced amino acid sequence,which furthermore showed some patterns of regional identity. Furthermore, the sequencevariants from the Middle East and North Africa appear more numerous and diverse thanthose from EuropeItem Draft genome sequence of the algerian bee apis mellifera intermissa(Elsevier, 2015) Haddad, Nizar Jamal; Loucif-Ayad, Wahida; Adjlane, Noureddine; Saini, Deepti; Manchiganti, Rushiraj; Krishnamurthy, Venkatesh; AlShagoor, Banan; Batainh, Ahmed Mahmud; Mugasimangalam, RajaApis mellifera intermissa is the native honeybee subspecies of Algeria. A. m. intermissa occurs in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, between the Atlas and the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. This bee is very important due to its high ability to adapt to great variations in climatic conditions and due to its preferable cleaning behavior. Here we report the draft genome sequence of this honey bee, its Whole Genome Shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession JSUV00000000. The 240-Mb genome is being annotated and analyzed. Comparison with the genome of other Apis mellifera sub-species promises to yield insights into the evolution of adaptations to high temperature and resistance to Varroa parasite infestationItem Enzootic plague foci, algeria(Science Direct, 2015) Malek, M.
