Maternal immune experience acquired during pathogen exposure and passed on to progeny enhance resistance infection is called trans-generational priming (TgIP). In eusocial insects like honeybees, TgIP would result in a significant improvement of health at individual colony level. Demonstrated invertebrates other than has not yet been fully elucidated terms intensity molecular mechanisms underlying this response. Here, we immune-stimulated honeybee queens with Paenibacillus larvae ( Pl ),...
The assessment of pesticide risks to insect pollinators have typically focused on short-term, lethal impacts. environmental ramifications many the world's most commonly employed pesticides, such as those exhibiting systemic properties that can result in long-lasting exposure insects, may thus be severely underestimated. Here, seven laboratories from Europe and North America performed a standardised experiment (a ring-test) study long-term sublethal impacts relatively recently approved 'bee...
Abstract Disclosing interactions between pesticides and bee infections is of most interest to understand challenges that pollinators are facing which extent health compromised. Here, we address the individual combined effect three different (dimethoate, clothianidin fluvalinate) an American foulbrood (AFB) infection have on mortality cellular immune response honeybee larvae. We demonstrate for first time a synergistic interaction when larvae exposed sublethal doses dimethoate or in...
Recently, evidence has shown that variations in the cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) profile allow healthy honeybees to identify diseased nestmates, eliciting agonistic responses former. Here, we determined whether these 'immunologic cues' emitted by nestmates were only detected workers, who consequently took hygienic measures and excluded individuals from colony, or queens also able detect cues respond accordingly. Healthy honeybee exposed (i) healthy, (ii) Ringer-injected (iii)...
Abstract The in vitro inhibitory potential of 50 extracts from various species the flowering plant genus Hypericum was investigated using KirbyBauer disk diffusion susceptibility test against Paenibacillus larvae , a spore‐forming, Gram ‐positive bacterial pathogen that causes American foulbrood (AFB), lethal disease affecting honeybee brood worldwide. Of tested extracts, 14 were identified as highly active P. compared to activity positive control, indicating presence potent antibacterial...
Honeybee (Apis mellifera) imagines are resistant to the Gram-positive bacterium Paenibacillus larvae (P. larvae), causative agent of American foulbrood (AFB), whereas honeybee show susceptibility against this pathogen only during first 48 h their life. It is known that midgut homogenate adult honeybees as well a aged exhibit strong anti-P. activity. A bioactivity-guided LC-HRMS analysis resulted in identification 1-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (LPC) pointing yet unknown immune defence...
Immune responses of invertebrates imply more than developing a merely unspecific response to an infection. Great interest has been raised unveil whether this investment into immunity also involves fitness costs associated the individual or group. Focusing on immune honeybees, we use well-studied insect bumblebee for comparison. Bumblebees are capable producing specific infections whereas not assessed honeybees so far. We investigated prior bacterial encounter provides protection against...
Motivation: Currently there is a widely validated commercial semi-automatic method called AMRA® Researcher, which quantifies ASAT and VAT. However, it not accessible to everyone due the necessary economic means. Goal(s): To develop an automatic, simple free methodology quantify VAT, with at least same precision as Researcher. Approach: Preprocessing CNNs applied on in-phase Dixon MRI sequences were proposed for VAT ASAT. Results: There no significant differences between...
Genomic analysis of the invasive marine snail Batillaria attramentaria from Elkhorn Slough, Moss Landing, California, USA using 150 bp paired-end Illumina sequences resulted in assembly its complete mitogenome. The mitogenome is 16,095 length and contains 2 rRNA, 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA genes (GenBank Accession MN557850). Gene content organization B. are identical to Turritellidae Pachychilidae. phylogenetic resolves it a fully supported clade with these same two families superfamily...
We were intrigued by reported observations of reduced brood production and a high number empty cells in bee colonies exposed to sublethal pesticide doses, which could suggest an active removal larvae. Higher numbers oenocytes, insect responsible for lipid processing detoxification, also found pesticide-exposed Oenocytes are involved hydrocarbon metabolism chemical communication, we hypothesized that these larvae display altered cuticular (CHC) profiles when pesticides as compared control In...
Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of electric potentials produced by neuronal activity within cerebral cortex placing electrodes on specific locations scalp. In our research, subjects performed real and imaginary movements their right arm as EEG signals were recorded with a 32-electrode cap at sampling rate 1 kHz. Our experiment consisted twelve 30-second tests, each composed 5 repetitions two opposite movements. Indications timing, speed, type movement provided computer program...
