    American foulbrood caused by Paenibacillus larvae is one of the most serious bacterial diseases of honeybee brood. Few data are currently available on the prevalence of this disease in Algeria. This study provides an overview of the prevalence of this disease in the Mid-North. Samples of adult bees were collected from 65 apiaries. Detection of spore samples was performed using methods bacteriological, microscopic and biochemical. Spores of Paenibacillus larvae were detected in 23.5 % of the apiaries examined in 2010 and 30 % in 2011. The prevalence of the wreck is different from one region to another. Many factors can possibly explain this difference in the prevalence of the disease.
