Potassium ion channels as a molecular target to reduce virus infection and mortality of honey bee colonies

Abstract Declines in managed honey bee populations are multifactorial but closely associated with reduced virus immunocompetence and thus, mechanisms to enhance immune function are likely to reduce viral infection rates and increase colony viability. However, gaps in knowledge regarding physiologica...
