IAPV, a bee-affecting virus associated with Colony Collapse Disorder can be silenced by dsRNA ingestion.
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has been associated with Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV). CCD poses a serious threat to apiculture and agriculture as a whole, due to the consequent inability to provide the necessary amount of bees for pollination of critical crops. Here we report on RNAi-silencing of IAPV infection by feeding bees with double-stranded RNA, as an efficient and feasible way o...
متن کاملSchistosoma mansoni reinfection: Analysis of risk factors by classification and regression tree (CART) modeling
Praziquantel (PZQ) is an effective chemotherapy for schistosomiasis mansoni and a mainstay for its control and potential elimination. However, it does not prevent against reinfection, which can occur rapidly in areas with active transmission. A guide to ranking the risk factors for Schistosoma mansoni reinfection would greatly contribute to prioritizing resources and focusing prevention and con...
متن کاملColony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and bee age impact honey bee pathophysiology
Honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies continue to experience high annual losses that remain poorly explained. Numerous interacting factors have been linked to colony declines. Understanding the pathways linking pathophysiology with symptoms is an important step in understanding the mechanisms of disease. In this study we examined the specific pathologies associated with honey bees collected from ...
متن کاملPredictive Markers of Honey Bee Colony Collapse
Across the Northern hemisphere, managed honey bee colonies, Apis mellifera, are currently affected by abrupt depopulation during winter and many factors are suspected to be involved, either alone or in combination. Parasites and pathogens are considered as principal actors, in particular the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor, associated viruses and the microsporidian Nosema ceranae. Here we ...
متن کاملColony Collapse Disorder in context
Although most of humanity relies upon foods that do not require animal pollination [1], production of 39 of the world’s 57 most important monoculture crops still benefits from this ecosystem service [2]. Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) are undoubtedly the singlemost valuable animal pollinators to agriculture because they can be easily maintained and transported to pollinator-dependent crops...
