Interactions Among Host–Parasite MicroRNAs During Nosema ceranae Proliferation in Apis mellifera

We previously identified microRNA (miRNA) from Nosema ceranae and found that knockdowns of transcripts for the parasite protein Dicer greatly reduce parasite reproduction. In order to study parasitic miRNA functions and identify candidate target genes, we fed honey bees infected with N. ceranae with...
