Effects of Environmentally-Relevant Mixtures of 4 Common Organophosphorus Insecticides on Honey Bees

Abstract We assessed whether exposure to environmentally-relevant mixtures of four organophosphorus insecticides (OPs) exerted adverse effects on honey bees. Adult and worker bees were orally exposed...

In-depth proteomic analysis of Varroa destructor: Detection of DWV-complex, ABPV, VdMLV and proteins

Abstract We investigated pathogens in the parasitic honeybee mite Varroa destructor using nanoLC-MS/MS (TripleTOF) and 2D-E-MS/MS proteomics approaches supplemented with affinity-chromatography to concentrate trace target proteins. Peptides...
