nce-miR-12220 is a vital regulator for microsporidian to infect honeybee via positive modulation of ATP-A and γ-tubulin genes

Microsporidia rely extensively on host resources, yet how parasite-derived microRNAs coordinate infection remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the function of nce-miR-12220, a miRNA identified in Nosema ceranae spores, during infection of Apis mellifera workers. Targe...

Regulatory Manner and Role of Circular RNAs in the Microsporidian Invasion of Asian Honeybee

Vairimorpha ceranae, an obligate intracellular parasitic fungus, infects the midgut of worker Apis cerana cerana, disrupts nutritional metabolism and immune homeostasis of hosts, and poses severe threats to honeybee health and the sustainable development of apiculture. To date, t...
