单词 foulbrood
释义

foulbroodn.

Brit. /ˈfaʊlbruːd/, U.S. /ˈfaʊlˌbrud/
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding, modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: foul adj., brood n.
Etymology: < foul adj. + brood n., after German Faulbrut (1761 or earlier in the works of A. G. Schirach).Compare the following slightly earlier passage, which cites the equivalent French expression faux couvain, literally ‘false brood’ (1771 in a translation of a German work by Schirach):1832 E. Griffith et al. Cuvier's Animal Kingdom XV. 562 A fourth malady by which they [sc. bees] are visited, which is contagious, and a kind of plague amongst, is what M. Schirach, and after him the French naturalists, call faux-couvain (false brood).
Either of two bacterial diseases causing the death of honeybee larvae in the comb.The two diseases are distinguished as American foulbrood and European foulbrood, after the continents in which their causative bacteria were first identified rather than because of their geographical distribution. American foulbrood, caused by the spore-forming bacterium Paenibacillus larvae, is the most destructive disease of domesticated honeybees. European foulbrood, caused by Melissococcus plutonius, is a less serious disease.
