Накратко на български
Наследствените микроби, като симбионта Arsenophonus, се анализират, за да се разбере как влияят на здравето на пчелите. Това е важно, защото резултатите ще помогнат за подобряване на пчеларските практики и опазване на колониите.

How to help the hive? Incidence and impact of heritable microbes on bee health
Honey bees provide both economic and societal benefits, from the honey and other commodities that they produce to the pollination services they provide. The loss of honey bee colonies and the current threats to their health are of considerable concern to bee-keepers and biologists alike.This project seeks to examine how a particular aspect of honey bee biology – the symbiotic microbiome – impacts upon honey bee health. Studies in other systems reveal heritable microbes as important modulators of disease susceptibility, for instance protecting against virus or other natural enemies. This project utilizes the extensive network of bee samples across the US and UK to establish geographical patterns of heritable microbe presence in bees, and links to apiculture practice. It then uses state of the art transcriptomic and genomic approaches to establish the links between Arsenophonus, a heritable symbiont known in bees, and bee health. It then combines with professional agencies responsible for bee health to use these results to modify apiculture practice to establish better bee husbandry. Aside the research science completed, the project will provide training in state of the art genomic technologies and translation from discovery to applied science. It further transfers the training gained to the Liverpool return phase host, both in discovery science and application.

It will further transfer the training gained to EU hosts, both in discovery science and application.
