Despite apiculture to be considered an expansion activity in Mato Grosso , there are only few studies about this pathogen. The aim of this paper was to get to know the beekeeper profile and evaluate the pathogen prevalence of Mato Grosso north mesoregion. Data were collected from 48 beekeepers, including 57 apiaries distributed among 11 municipalities, from July to November 2015. Amounting one hundred of entrance forager bees samples. The results indicated that Nosema ceranae was present at 96% of prevalence at studied apiaries, with an 39,66 x 105 spores/ bee (from 7,0 x 105 to 83,55 x 105 spores/ bee) average level of infection. The apiculture at this region is a consolidated activity with technology use and undiagnosed diseases losses, few technical assistance and the absence of an inspection service established
