The herbicide glyphosate negatively affects midgut bacterial communities and survival of honey bee during larvae reared in vitro
Effects of glyphosate on survival, developmental rate, larval weight, and midgut bacterial
diversity of Apis mellifera were tested in the laboratory. Larvae were reared in vitro and fed …

Diet‐related gut bacterial dysbiosis correlates with impaired development, increased mortality and Nosema disease in the honeybee (Apis mellifera)
PW Maes, PAP Rodrigues, R Oliver, BM Mott… - Molecular …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Dysbiosis, defined as unhealthy shifts in bacterial community composition, can lower the
colonization resistance of the gut to intrinsic pathogens. Here, we determined the effect of …
