Abstract

AbstractNosema ceranae is a microsporidian parasite that threatens current apiculture. N. ceranae‐infected honey bees (Apis mellifera) exhibit morbid physiological impairments and reduced honey production, malnutrition, shorter life span, and higher mortality than healthy honey bees. In this study, we found that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) could enhance the survival rate of N. ceranae‐infected honey bees. Therefore, we investigated the effect of DMSO on N. ceranae‐infected honey bees using comparative RNA sequencing analysis. Our results revealed that DMSO was able to affect several biochemical pathways, especially the metabolic‐related pathways in N. ceranae‐infected honey bees. Based on these findings, we conclude that DMSO may be a useful alternative for treating N. ceranae infection in apiculture.
