What proteomics has taught us about honey bee (Apis mellifera) health and disease

PROTEOMICS, Volume 25, Issue 1-2, January 2025.
Abstract The Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, is currently navigating a gauntlet of environmental pressures, including the persistent threat of parasites, pathogens, and climate change – all of which compromise the vitality of honey bee colonies.

Silencing of EhAQP1, EhPTP2, and EhTK Genes in Ecytonucleospora Hepatopenaei Using RNA Interference: A Potential Strategy for Preventing and Treating EHP Infection in Shrimp

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Ecytonucleospora hepatopenaei (EHP) is an obligate intracellular parasitic pathogen of shrimp, causing growth retardation and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Currently, there are few reports on the prevention and treatment of EHP infection in shrimp, and research on its drug targets is limited.

The relationship between managed bees and the prevalence of parasites in bumblebees [PDF]

, 2014
Honey bees and, more recently, bumblebees have been domesticated and are now managed commercially primarily for crop pollination, mixing with wild pollinators during foraging on shared flower resources.

Pathogen and Hemocyte Dynamics in Three Apiaries Across a Bee Season

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Honey bees are dying due to a disease complex consisting of viruses, parasites, chemicals, nutritional deficiencies, and management problems. In the present study, pathogens and hemocytes were analyzed in honey bee hemolymph samples using third‐generation sequencing and flow cytometry in three apiaries over a honey bee season. Using nanopore sequencing,

Effect of Immune Inducers on Nosema ceranae Multiplication and Their Impact on Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Survivorship and Behaviors

Insects, 2020
Nosema disease is a major disease of honey bees caused by two species of microsporidia, Nosema apis and N. ceranae. Current control involves using antibiotics, which is undesirable because of possible antibiotic resistance and contamination.

Changes in the bioelement content of summer and winter western honeybees (Apis mellifera) induced by Nosema ceranae infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Proper bioelement content is crucial for the health and wellness of all organisms, including honeybees. However, the situation is more complicated in these important pollinators due to the fact that they change their physiology during winter in order to ...

Contrasting effects of beekeeping and land use on plant–pollinator networks and pathogen prevalence in Mediterranean semiarid ecosystems

Ecography, Volume 2024, Issue 10, October 2024.
Pollinators are fundamental for plant reproduction in natural and agricultural ecosystems. However, their populations are declining worldwide, threatening the functioning of the ecosystem service they provide. The factors driving this change are manifold, but land use changes and interspecific transmission of pathogens between managed and wild bees are

Honey bee genotypes and the environment [PDF]

, 2014
Although knowledge about honey bee geographic and genetic diversity has increased tremendously in recent decades (Meixner et al., 2013), the adaptation of honey bees to their local environment has not been well studied.
