We are coming to appreciate that at fertilization human spermatozoa deliver the paternal genome alongside a suite of structures, proteins and RNAs. Although role some structures as requisite elements for early development has been established, function sperm-delivered RNAs remains point discussion. The presence in transcriptionally quiescent can only be derived from transcription precedes late spermiogenesis. A cross-platform microarray strategy was used assess profile spermatozoal...

Pollinators, including solitary bees, are drastically declining worldwide. Among the factors contributing to this decline, bee pathogens and different land uses of relevance. The link between gut microbiome composition host health has been recently studied for social pollinators (e.g. honeybees), whereas information related bees is sparse. This work aimed at characterization Xylocopa augusti, Eucera fervens Lasioglossum attempted correlate microbial with presence load uses. Solitary were...

The aim of this work was to compare the antimicrobial activity against Paenibacillus larvae and antioxidant capacity two Laurus nobilis L. extracts obtained by different extraction methods. hydroalcoholic extract moreover added as supplementary diet bees in field conditions test behavioural effects colony strength. Both laurel were subjected phytochemical analysis identify their bioactive compounds. Antimicrobial analyzed minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination means agar...

African honey bee subspecies Apis mellifera scutellata began to spread in the American continent from southern Brazil 1956. The process of Africanization involved both maternal and paternal bidirectional gene flow between European Africanized bees. In Argentina, bees dominate northern semitropical regions a hybrid area is defined (ca. 32°–34°latitude). Although previous analysis has been carried out Buenos Aires province, no made south this latitude. We used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) assays...

Transmission of viruses by Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman to bees has been identified as one the main threats Apis mellifera L. colonies. It also suggested that synergistic parasite-pathogen interaction mediated A. immunity can drive collapse honey bee We analyzed relationship between deformed wing virus (DWV) viral load and gene expression levels Toll Wheeler, cactus, domeless, TEPA, nitric oxide synthase, hymenoptaecin, vitellogenin, defensin, abaecin in winter samples with without...

Varroa destructor is the most serious parasitic mite that infests honey bee Apis mellifera. Different treatments with systemic acaricides are applied to control, but due intensive use of these chemicals, resistance organophosphates and pyrethroids has developed worldwide. Most episodes have been registered for fluvalinate, only in a few cases flumethrin reported. In Uruguay, no studies on V. yet recorded. High infestation levels continuously detected colonies A. mellifera after flumethrin....

Many biotic and abiotic stressors impact bees' health, acting as immunosupressors contribute to colony losses. Thus, the importance of studying immune response honey bees is central develop new strategies aiming enhance fitness confront threats affecting them. If a pathogen breaches physical chemical barriers, can protect themselves from infection with cellular humoral responses which represent second line defense. Through series correlative studies we have previously reported that abscisic...

Abstract Apis mellifera is infected by more than 24 virus species worldwide, mainly positive-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses of the Dicistroviridae and Iflaviridae families. Among that infect honey bees, Deformed wing most prevalent present as three master variants DWV-A, B, C. Given ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor vectors these variants, recombination events between them are expected, their recombinants can co-exist in mites honeybees at same time. In this study, we detect, through...

Bombus pauloensis is a native bumble bee species widely distributed over South America and key pollinator for plants commercial crops. This affected by pathogens such as Nosema ceranae, Crithidia bombi Apis mellifera Filamentous Virus (AmFV). work aims to document the presence intensity of exogenous on B. in different periods year during spring summer. Bumble bees were sampled four study areas with contrasting land uses preliminary evaluate if anthropization levels can be related pathogens....
