Differential expression patterns and potential regulatory function of piRNAs in western honey bee larval response to Ascosphaera apis infestation

This study identifies differentially expressed piRNAs in western honey bee larvae infected with Ascosphaera apis and explores their potential regulatory roles in immune and metabolic responses.

First identification and investigation of piRNAs in the larval guts of Asian honey bee, Apis cerana

The paper identifies and investigates piRNAs in the larval guts of Asian honey bee, revealing their expression patterns and regulatory roles in development.

Transcriptome-wide characterization of piRNAs during the developmental process of European honey bee larval guts

The paper identifies and analyzes differentially expressed piRNAs in European honey bee larval guts across developmental stages, revealing their potential regulatory roles in development, immunity, and energy metabolism.

Impact of Nosema ceranae invasion on sucrose solution consumption, midgut epithelial cell structure, and lifespan of Apis cerana cerana workers

This study investigates the effects of Nosema ceranae infection on sucrose consumption, midgut cell structure, and lifespan in Apis cerana cerana workers, finding increased sucrose consumption, structural damage, and reduced lifespan in infected individuals.
