Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Grooming behavior and damaged mites (Varroa jacobsoni) in Apis cerana cerana and Apis mellifera ligustica [PDF]

Apidologie, 1996
On a etudie la mortalite de l'acarien Varroa jacobsoni et ses lesions (principalement la perte ou les lesions d'une ou plusieurs pattes) dans des ruches d'observation, auxquelles des varroas avaient ete ajoutes, et dans des colonies entieres des deux especes Apis cerana cerana et Apis mellifera ligustica.

Eye can see clearly now: Identifying the locus associated with a white‐eye mutation in honey bees (Apis mellifera)

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
We performed a community science investigation with the beekeepers nationwide to find phenotypic mutants. Alongside a beekeeper in Kentucky, we performed a GWAS to identify a region associated with a white‐eye phenotype. We identified an eight bp region in a non‐coding RNA strongly associated with white eyes.

Toxic effects of detected pyrethroid pesticides on honeybee (Apis mellifera ligustica Spin and Apis cerana cerana Fabricius)

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractTo obtain the presence of environmental contaminants in honeybee and compare the toxicity of the detected pesticides to Apis mellifera ligustica Spin and Apis cerana cerana Fabricius. In this work, 214 honeybee samples were collected to simultaneous monitoring 66 pesticides between 2016 and 2017 in China.

The Odorant-Binding Protein Gene obp11 Shows Different Spatiotemporal Roles in the Olfactory System of Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis cerana cerana

Sociobiology, 2014
Odorant-binding proteins participate in the olfactory system of the honeybee. Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis cerana cerana are species of honeybee that have different biologic functions.

Genetic Basis of UV Bullseye Size Variations in Turnip Rape (Brassica rapa subsp. oleifera)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Floral ultraviolet (UV) patterns are visible to bee pollinators and can affect crop yields by impacting pollinator visitation. However, the mechanisms underlying the intraspecific variations of UV bullseye size remain largely unknown. We analyse the ecological consequences and genetic basis of floral UV bullseye size variation in an important ...

Quality comparison of multifloral honeys produced by Apis cerana cerana, Apis dorsata and Lepidotrigona flavibasis

LWT, 2020
Abstract The physicochemical parameters, sugars, minerals and volatile compounds were selected in current work as the crucial parameters for evaluating multifloral honeys produced by Apis cerana cerana Fabricius, Apis dorsata Fabricius and Lepidotrigona flavibasis Cockerell.

Identification and antioxidant characterisation of thioredoxin-like1 from Apis cerana cerana [PDF]

Apidologie, 2012
Thioredoxins (Trxs) play a crucial role in maintaining redox homeostasis and protecting organisms against toxic reactive oxygen species. Compared with the well-studied Trxs in Mammalia, little is reported in insects. In this study, we isolated a Trx-like1 gene from Apis cerana cerana (AccTrx-like1), a single copy gene, and characterised its antioxidant

Scent Goes Digital: The Role of Insect Odorant Binding Proteins in Modern Technology

BioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
This review delves into bioinspired olfactory biosensors, focusing on insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) as core elements of hybrid bionic platforms for volatile compound detection. Highlighting the development of the biological electronic nose (BE‐NOSE), it examines current prototypes, outlines advantages over conventional methods, and explores ...

Apis cerana Fabricius, 1793 in Sumatra: Haplotype Variations of Mitochondrial DNA and the Molecular Relationship with the Asian Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Hayati Journal of Biosciences
Honey bee Apis cerana is widely distributed in Asia and the Indonesian archipelago, including Sumatra. We studied the molecular variations of A. cerana using cytochrome c oxidase subunits 1 and 2 genes (cox1 and cox2) and the cox1/cox2 intergenic ...
