新的基因组工具和资源现在被用来了解蜜蜂的健康和开发工具，以更好地管理it.here，我们描述了使用基因组方法来识别和表征蜜蜂寄生虫和病原体，检查这些寄生虫和病原体之间的相互作用，它们和它们的蜜蜂宿主之间，并确定遗传标记，以改善更有弹性的蜜蜂种群的育种。我们还讨论了几种新的基因组技术，可用于更有效地研究，监测和改善蜜蜂健康。在使用基于RNAi的技术来减轻蜜蜂种群疾病的情况下，我们强调了优势，劣势和降低风险的策略。越来越多地使用基因组分析工具和操纵技术已经取得了重大进展，并为改善蜜蜂和其他关键授粉物种的健康带来了巨大希望。
New genomic tools and resources are now being used to both understand honey bee health and develop tools to better manage it. Here, we describe the use of genomic approaches to identify and characterize bee parasites and pathogens, examine interactions among these parasites and pathogens, between them and their bee hosts, and to identify genetic markers for improved breeding of more resilient bee stocks. We also discuss several new genomic techniques that can be used to more efficiently study, monitor and improve bee health. In the case of using RNAi-based technologies to mitigate diseases in bee populations, we highlight advantages, disadvantages and strategies to reduce risk. The increased use of genomic analytical tools and manipulative technologies has already led to significant advances, and holds great promise for improvements in the health of honey bees and other critical pollinator species.
