The effect of two distinct viral-enriched inocula on the immune response and chemical cues in honey bee pupae
2025-10-20
Abstract excerpt
The combination of Varroa destructor (Varroa) and the viruses it vectors is a major driver of honey bee ( Apis mellifera ) colony losses. Hygienic behavior and individual immunity enable bees to cope with some pests and parasites. Hygienic response of adult bees is driven by olfactory cues emanating from diseased brood. In this study, we tested the effect of viral inoculation on the chemical profile and immune r...
