Evolution of the immune system of bees: A story of conservation, gains, and losses

2025-08-26

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Insect pollinators, such as bees, provide essential ecosystem services yet face increasing environmental challenges, including pathogens, which can negatively impact host fitness. Central to host defences are immune genes and their products but for many bee species, our understanding of the conservation of the immune gene repertoire, as well as mechanisms that allow for funct...
