Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
We immune‐primed honey bees at two developmental stages in the laboratory and the field with heat‐killed Nosema ceranae spores. When subsequently fed live spores, immune‐primed adults had lower infection levels. Abstract BACKGROUND Honey bees face significant threats from pathogens like Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite that contributes to ...

Study of some biological aspects of the blowfly Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann 1819) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2016
We reared Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann 1819) unadult stages (first larval instar, second larval instar, third larval instar and pupal stage) under four constant temperatures. Results proved that increasing temperature from 20 to 25, 30 and 35 °C reduced
