Belén Branchiccela,Loreley Castelli,M. Corona,S. Diaz-Cetti,C. Invernizzi,G. Martínez de la Escalera,Y. Mendoza,Elizabeth J. Santos,Caroline Silva,Pablo Zunino,Karina Antúnez +10 more
TL;DR: Nutritional stress and Nosema spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Nutritional Stress on Honeybee Gut Microbiota, Immunity, and Nosema ceranae Infection
Loreley Castelli,Belén Branchiccela,M Garrido,Ciro Invernizzi,Martín Pablo Porrini,H Romero,Estela Santos,Pablo Zunino,Karina Antúnez +8 more
TL;DR: Results show that nutritional stress impacts the honeybee gut microbiota, having consequences on honeybee immunity and pathogen development, and may be useful to understand the influence of modern agriculture on honeybees health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal Variation of Honeybee Pathogens and its Association with Pollen Diversity in Uruguay.
Karina Antúnez,Matilde Anido,Belén Branchiccela,Jorge Harriet,Juan Campa,Ciro Invernizzi,Estela Santos,Mariano Higes,Raquel Martín-Hernández,Pablo Zunino +9 more
TL;DR: On the other side, colonies with pollen of diverse botanical origins showed reduced viral infection levels, suggesting that an adequate nutrition is important for the development of healthy colonies.
Journal ArticleDOI
High prevalence and infection levels of Nosema ceranae in bumblebees Bombus atratus and Bombus bellicosus from Uruguay.
Natalia Arbulo,Karina Antúnez,Sheena Salvarrey,Estela Santos,Belén Branchiccela,Raquel Martín-Hernández,Mariano Higes,Ciro Invernizzi +7 more
TL;DR: Nosema ceranae is one of the most prevalent pathogens in Apis mellifera and has recently been found in multiple host species including several species of bumblebees, threatening not only for bumblebee populations, but also to the rest of the native pollinator community and to honeybees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sublethal effects of acaricides and Nosema ceranae infection on immune related gene expression in honeybees
Paula Melisa Garrido,Martín Pablo Porrini,Karina Antúnez,Belén Branchiccela,Giselle M. A. Martínez-Noël,Pablo Zunino,Graciela L. Salerno,Martin Javier Eguaras,Elena Ieno +8 more
TL;DR: Honeybee survival was not affected by any of the treatments, and parasite development was not altered by acaricide treatments, while coumaphos exposure decreased lysozyme expression and N. ceranae reduced levels of vitellogenin transcripts independently of the presence of acaricides.
