Varroa Causes Oxidative Stress in Apis Mellifera L
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study was designed to study the influence of Varroa on honey bee Apis mellifera.The antioxidant defense system of the brown eye pupathe infestive stage in the life cycle of the hostwas evaluated. This was manifested as elevated activity of antioxidant defense enzymes, with Superoxide dismutase and Catalase activities being almost two times higher in infested versus noninfested pupae. Total protein content during the present observation was higher in case of uninfested pupae as compared to infested pupae.

Varroosis, a disease caused by the mite Varroa destructor Anderson and Treuman has killed hundreds of thousands of Apis mellifera L. colonies in various parts of the world. Nevertheless, the damage caused by this mite varies with the type of bee and climate conditions. Varroa causes little damage to Africanized bee colonies in Brazil, as the infestation rates are relatively stable and low. We e...

The ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor is a major global threat to the Western honeybee Apis mellifera. This mite was originally a parasite of A. cerana in Asia but managed to spill over into colonies of A. mellifera which had been introduced to this continent for honey production. To date, only two almost clonal types of V. destructor from Korea and Japan have been detected in A. mellifera c...

Introduction Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman (2000) is an ectoparasitic mite which causes severe damage to Apis mellifera populations worldwide. Adult females of V. destructor feed directly on the haemolymph of honey bee pupae and can activate and transmit honeybee viruses. Infestation causes an increased prevalence of bee diseases and colony mortality, resulting in decline of honey produc...
متن کاملGene expression in honey bee (Apis mellifera) larvae exposed to pesticides and Varroa mites (Varroa destructor).
Honey bee (Apis mellifera) larvae reared in vitro were exposed to one of nine pesticides and/or were challenged with the parasitic mite, Varroa destructor. Total RNA was extracted from individual larvae and first strand cDNAs were generated. Gene-expression changes in larvae were measured using quantitative PCR (qPCR) targeting transcripts for pathogens and genes involved in physiological proce...
