Drivers of Viral Prevalence in Landscape‐Scale Pollinator Networks Across Europe: Honey Bee Viral Density, Niche Overlap With This Reservoir Host and Network Architecture

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
Viral spill‐over from honey bees is a potential threat to wild pollinators. We used causal modelling approaches to detect the main drivers of spill‐over. Honey bee viral density, niche overlap with honey bees, urbanisation and plant‐pollinator network structure all played an important role in the transmission of BQCV, DWV‐A and DWV‐B.

The gut parasite Nosema ceranae impairs olfactory learning in bumblebees

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2022
ABSTRACT Pollinators are exposed to numerous parasites and pathogens when foraging on flowers. These biological stressors may affect critical cognitive abilities required for foraging. Here, we tested whether exposure to Nosema ceranae, one of the most widespread parasites of honey bees also found in wild pollinators, impacts ...

Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7939-7949, December 2025.
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 ...

Evaluation of Antimicrosporidian Activity of Plant Extracts on Nosema ceranae

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2016
Nosemosis is one of the most common protozoan diseases of adult bees (Apis mellifera). Nosemosis is caused by two species of microsporidia; Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae.

The role of disease in bee foraging ecology [PDF]

, 2017
Diseases have important but understudied effects on bee foraging ecology. Bees transmit and contract diseases on flowers, but floral traits including plant volatiles and inflorescence architecture may affect transmission. Diseases spill over from managed

Identification of novel miRNAs from the microsporidian parasite Nosema ceranae

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2021
Previously, six miRNAs were identified from the microsporidian parasite Nosema ceranae. By taking advantage of the recently updated N. ceranae and honey bee genome assemblies, we re-analyzed the deep sequencing datasets. Three novel miRNAs were identified, which were further validated by plasmid cloning and sequencing.

Urban landscapes tend to increase the presence of pathogenic protozoa, microsporidia and viruses, but likely decrease the abundance of viruses in wild bees and wasps

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 1911-1925, December 2025.
• The bees Anthophora plumipes and Osmia cornuta had a higher occurrence probability of the neogregarine protozoan Apicystis bombi in more fragmented urban areas.• In the bee Halictus scabiosae and wasp Polistes dominula, hotter urban areas increased the likelihood of occurrence of viruses.• The viruses were found to be replicative in the samples, and ...

First Detection of Nosema Ceranae and Nosema Apis in Greater Wax Moth Galleria Mellonella

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2017
The greater wax moth Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), one of the pests of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies, has spread almost all over the world. Although the G.

A comprehensive transcriptome data of normal and Nosema ceranae-stressed midguts of Apis mellifera ligustica workers

Data in Brief, 2019
Honeybees are pivotal pollinators of crops and wild flora, and of great importance in supporting critical ecosystem balance. Nosema ceranae, a unicellular fungal parasite that infects midgut epithelial cells of honeybees, can dramatically reduce honeybee
