The causal organism of European foulbrood of honey bees is the bacterium Melissococcus plutonius. The identification of its presence by the observation of signs of disease in the field is unreliable. The most usual and obvious sign is the death of larvae shortly before they are due to be sealed in their cells, but this may be for reasons other than European foulbrood. 3, record 3, English, - European%20foulbrood

"A knowledge market is a place where knowledge is traded. "It seems very obvious but the idea of selling knowledge is seldom considered. Examples of knowledge markets are : auctions, stores, expert knowledge or question and answer exchanges, intellectual property exchanges, investment knowledge exchanges, e-learning exchanges, community oriented networks, intellectual capital exchanges, vertical or industry-specific markets, and B2B knowledge exchange. The reasons behind these markets appeal are diverse : better market access, precision matching, more transparency, and the possibility of knowledge co-creation and development. The factors to a successful knowledge market, as well as the common pitfalls, lead us to the next chapter, which talks about productizing knowledge. 2, record 6, English, - knowledge%20market
