Antibiotics are frequently employed to control bacterial diseases in honeybees, but their broad-spectrum action can disrupt the delicate balance of gut microbiome, leading dysbiosis. This imbalance microbiota honeybees adversely affects physiological health and weakens resistance pathogens, including viruses that significantly threaten honeybee health. In this study, we investigated whether tetracycline-induced microbiome dysbiosis promotes replication Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV), a...
Abstract Bovine mastitis harms milk quality and cattle health. Val-Pro-Pro (VPP) Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP) are well-known milk-derived bioactive peptides with anti-inflammatory activity. However, the impact of VPP IPP on remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate effects underlying mechanisms in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation. When cells were treated LPS (1 µg/mL) for 24 h, protein levels pro-inflammatory factors (tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-1β IL-6))...
Honeybee gut microbiota undergoes long-term adaptive evolution with the host, resulting in host-specific genomic and functional characteristics. However, specific role of host-specialized strains shaping host physiological functions remains understudied. This study investigates specificity core symbiont Snodgrassella A. cerana mellifera, exploring its effects on immune response natural virus suppression through analysis colonization experiments. Genomic revealed that strain from exhibited a...
Cophylogeny has been identified between gut bacteria and their animal host is highly relevant to health, but little research extended bacteriophages. Here we use bee model investigate specificity cophylogeny in the "animal-gut bacteria-phage" tripartite system. Through metagenomic sequencing upon different species, phageome revealed a more variable composition than bacteriome. Nevertheless, bacteriome showed significant association of dissimilarity matrices, indicating reciprocal interaction...
The expansion of pathogen distribution may result in a new threat to the host. braconid Syntretomorpha szaboi Papp is an obligate parasite that targets Apis cerana, Eastern honeybee, engaging endoparasitism by ovipositing eggs inside host bee. Although S. has been documented India and various regions across China, its epidemiological data are notably lacking. In this study, we summarized based on available literature described symptoms infested honeybee workers. We also investigated...
