A bacterial symbiont protects honey bees from fungal disease

2020-01-23

Abstract excerpt

Fungi are the leading cause of insect disease, contributing to the decline of wild and managed populations 1,2 . For ecologically and economically critical species, such as the European honey bee ( Apis mellifera ), the presence and prevalence of fungal pathogens can have far reaching consequences, endangering other species and threatening food security 3,4,5 . Our ability to address fungal epidemics and opport...
