Expression of Molecular Markers of Resilience against <i>Varroa destructor</i> and Bee Viruses in Ethiopian Honey Bees (<i>Apis mellifera simensis</i>) Focussing on Olfactory Sensing and the RNA Interference Machinery

Expression of Molecular Markers of Resilience against <i>Varroa destructor</i> and Bee Viruses in Ethiopian Honey Bees (<i>Apis mellifera simensis</i>) Focussing on Olfactory Sensing and the RNA Interference Machinery

<i>Varroa destructor</i> mites and the viruses it vectors are two major factors leading to high losses of honey bees (<i>Apis mellifera</i>) colonies worldwide. However, honey bees in some African countries show resilience to varroa infestation and/or virus infections, althou...
