Differential bumble bee gene expression associated with pathogen infection and pollen diet
BMC Genomics.
MeSH headings : Bees / genetics; Animals; Pollen / genetics; Helianthus / genetics; Crithidia / genetics; Diet; Gene Expression
TL;DR:
D dissimilar immune responses between sunflower- and wildflower-fed bumble bees infected with C. bombi indicate a response to physical damage to gut epithelial cells caused by sunflower pollen, and a strong detoxification response toSunflower pollen consumption.
