Project description:To study the underlying molecular mechanisms during the Varroa destructor life cycle, we carried out transcriptomic profiling of seven stages: young mites (collected from P8 to P9 brood cells), phoretic mites (collected on adult bees), arresting mites (collected in unsealed L5 brood cells), pre-laying mites (collected from sealed brood cells containing moving larva), laying mites (collected from sealed brood cells containing pre-pupae), post-laying mites (collected from capped brood cells containing purple-eye and white-body pupae P5), emerging mites (collected from P8 to P9 brood cells). In addition, we sampled non-reproducing mites (collected from P5 brood cells, but without offspring), males (collected from P8 to P9 brood cells), and phoretic mites artificially reared in cages with adult bees. This study was performed using Apis mellifera L. honey bee colonies naturally infested by Varroa destructor mites. Adult mites were collected from 4 unrelated colonies.

Project description:In this study we addressed whether the transcriptome profile in the honey bee brain is similar for two major parasites of honey bee, Varroa destructor and Nosema ceranae. Honey bees parasitized by these two parasites show accelerated behavioral maturation and deficiences in orientation and learning/memory that we hoped to characterized at the transcriptomic level.

Project description:The mite Varroa destructor is currently the greatest threat to apiculture as it is causing a global decrease in honey bee colonies. However, it rarely causes serious damage to its native hosts, the eastern honey bees Apis cerana. To better understand the mechanism of resistance of A. cerana against the V. destructor mite, we profiled the metabolic changes that occur in the honey bee brain during V. destructor infestation. Brain samples were collected from infested and control honey bees and then measured using an untargeted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based global metabolomics method, in which 7918 and 7462 ions in ESI+ and ESI- mode, respectively, were successfully identified. Multivariate statistical analyses were applied, and 64 dysregulated metabolites, including fatty acids, amino acids, carboxylic acid, and phospholipids, amongst others, were identified. Pathway analysis further revealed that linoleic acid metabolism; propanoate metabolism; and glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism were acutely perturbed. The data obtained in this study offer insight into the defense mechanisms of A. cerana against V. destructor mites and provide a better method for understanding the synergistic effects of parasitism on honey bee colonies.

Project description:Coumaphos is an acaricide that is widely used to control Varroa mites in bee colonies. However, the extensive use of coumaphos against Varroa has resulted in the development of coumaphos resistant Varroa populations. In this study, the whole genome gene expression profile of 1) a coumaphos resistant V. destructor population (AN-CR) or 2) a coumaphos resistant V. destructor population pretreated with coumaphos (tAN-CR), was compared to the gene expression profile of a susceptible V. destructor population (ATH-S) using Illumina RNAseq.

Project description:Extensive annual losses of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) represent a global problem for agriculture and biodiversity. The parasitic mite Varroa destructor in association with viral co-infections plays a key role in this phenomenon; however, the precise mechanisms are still unclear. We employed a unique combination of transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and functional analyses to elucidate the effects of Varroa parasitisation. We focused on complex differences between parasitised and unparasitised ten-days old honey bee workers collected from identical colonies before overwintering. Honey bees exposed to mite parasitation during their development revealed alterations in transcriptome and proteome related to immunity, oxidative stress, olfactory recognition, metabolism of sphingolipids and RNA regulatory mechanisms. Specifically, immune reactions and sphingolipids metabolism were strongly up-regulated in parasitised honey bees; whereas olfactory recognition and oxidative stress pathways were down-regulated compared to unparasitised bees. Additionally, the metabolomic analysis confirmed the depletion of nutrients, decreased energy stores and generally disrupted metabolism of parasitised workers, as previously reported. By virtue of comprehensive omics-based analysis, we define the key changes in the honey bee facing Varroa parasitism and suggest possible mechanisms underlying its detrimental effects. This study provides a theoretical basis for future efforts in efficient control strategies against Varroa mites.

Project description:Experiment was designed to study the effect of Deformed wing virus (DWV) and the mite Varroa destructor on global gene expression using microarray transcriptional profiling in developing worker honeybee (Apis mellifera). Newly hatched bee larvae (day 3 of bee development) were transferred from a Varroa-free colony with low DWV levels to a Varroa-infested colony with high levels of DWV in bees and Varroa mites. All transferred larvae were receiving the DWV strains present in this Varroa-infested colony with the food delivered by the nurse bees until their capping (day 8). About half of these larvae were capped with Varroa mite and were subjected to the mite piercing and feeding on their haemolymph during pupal development until sampling at purple eye stage (day 14). Exposure to the mite piercing and feeding resulted in about 1000-fold increase of the DWV levels in the majority of the mite-exposed pupae compared to the control pupae and the pupae not exposed to Varroa mites.

Project description:Varroa destructor is one of the most prevalent and economically damaging honey bee pests worldwide, weakening colonies by simultaneously parasitizing and transmitting damaging viruses. Despite these impacts on honey bee health, surprisingly little is known about its fundamental molecular biology. Here we present a high-resolution V. destructor protein atlas crossing all major developmental stages (egg, protonymph, deutonymph and adult) for both male and female mites as a web-based interactive tool. In a proteogenomic effort, we identified 1,464 unique peptides corresponding to 419 proteins which were previously unannotated and we included these in all subsequent analyses. In order to use mass spectrometry-based peptide sequencing to augment the genome annotation of non-model species, we analyzed their amino acid and nucleotide composition as well as orthology to other species to suggest reasons why they may have been missed initially. Using label-free quantitative proteomics, we found that 1,433 proteins were differentially regulated across developmental stages, including proteins belonging to deformed wing virus and V. destructor virus. One other virus – the bee macula-like virus – was also detected, along with the protein generated by its short 3’ overlapping reading frame. In addition, we found that 101 proteins are sexually regulated and functional enrichment analysis suggests how they may contribute to sex-specific phenotypes and behaviour. Overall, this work provides a first of its kind interrogation of the patterns of gene expression that govern the Varroa life cycle and the tools we have developed will support further research on this threatening honey bee pest.
