Thiamethoxam exposure deregulates short ORF gene expression in the honey bee and compromises immune response to bacteria
2019-11-25
Abstract excerpt
Maximizing crop yields relies on the use of agrochemicals to control insect pests. One of the most widely used classes of insecticides are neonicotinoids that interfere with signalling of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, but these can also disrupt crop-pollination services provided by bees. Here, we analysed whether chronic low dose long-term exposure to the neonicotinoid thiamethoxam alters gene expression and...
