Age‑performance and intensity of grooming behavior toward Varroa destructor in resistant and susceptible Apis mellifera colonies
(Springer, 2022-10)Grooming behavior confers resistance to honey bees against Varroa destructor, being of interest to social immunity studies and breeding programs. The objective of this study was to characterize at the individual level the ... -
Bacterially expressed dsRNA induces Varroa destructor gene knockdown by honey bee-mediated oral administration
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-02)The ectoparasite Varroa destructor causes serious losses of Apis mellifera colonies and negatively impacts the beekeeping industry around the world. New control methods have been proposed based on the RNA interference ... -
Expression analysis of genes putatively associated with hygienic behavior in selected stocks of Apis mellifera L. from Argentina
(2017-11)Hygienic behavior is an economically beneficial, heritable trait, which has evolved to limit the impact of honeybee pathogens. Selecting and breeding colonies with high levels of hygienic behavior has become a feasible and ... -
Grooming Behavior in Naturally Varroa-Resistant Apis mellifera Colonies From North-Central Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-22)The Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, is an important species in providing honey and pollination services globally. The mite Varroa destructor is the major threat to A. mellifera, and it is associated with the severe ... -
HBeeID : a molecular tool that identifes honey bee subspecies from diferent geographic populations
(BioMed Central, 2024-08)Background: Honey bees are the principal commercial pollinators. Along with other arthropods, they are increasingly under threat from anthropogenic factors such as the incursion of invasive honey bee subspecies, pathogens ... -
Individual precocity, temporal persistence, and task-specialization of hygienic bees from selected colonies of apis mellifera
(2016)Hygienic behaviour is a complex trait that gives Apis mellifera L. resistance against brood diseases. Variability in the expression of hygienic behaviour is evidenced at the colonylevel and is explained by the proportion ... -
Morphometric and genetic characterization as tools for selection of Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) stocks in an area of natural hybridization in Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01)Beekeepers around the world select bees’ characteristics that facilitate and favor production. In regions where hybridization among lineages is taking place, this selection is a challenge, given that these regions are ... -
Stimulus-specific gene expression profiles associated with grooming behavior and Varroa destructor resistance in honey bees
(Frontiers Media, 2024-07)Grooming behavior is one of the mechanisms of social immunity in Apis mellifera. This behavior has been proposed as an active strategy of honey bees to restrain the population growth of the ectoparasitic mite Varroa ... -
Temporal changes in volatile profiles of Varroa destructor-infested brood may trigger hygienic behavior in Apis mellifera
(Wiley, 2021-03-16)Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman (Acari: Varroidae) is one of the major contributors to the significant losses of western honey bee, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), colonies worldwide. Hygienic behavior, in ... -
Varroa destructor parasitism and genetic variability at honey bee (Apis mellifera) drone congregation areas and their associations with environmental variables in Argentina
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11)Varroa destructor is a serious ectoparasite of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, which negatively impacts on colonies health and survival worldwide. Drone-mediated movement and the presence of the mite in Drone ... -
When african and european lineages meet: The genetic landscape of honey bees in Argentina
(Wiley, 2025-09-28)Argentina has a complex and diverse landscape of honeybee (Apis mellifera sp.) populations shaped by historic introductions and hybridization between Africanized (AHB) and European (EHB) lineages. While a latitudinal cline ...
