Parasites are responsible for dramatic declines of honeybee populations resulting in a loss of pollination services and posing a threat to food production and ecosystem stability. This project will study the honeybee immune system and its interactions with bee parasites on the molecular scale, which will be important to guide future bee breeding.

寄生虫是蜜蜂数量急剧下降的原因，导致授粉服务的损失，并对粮食生产和生态系统稳定构成威胁。该项目将在分子水平上研究蜜蜂免疫系统及其与蜜蜂寄生虫的相互作用，这对指导未来的蜜蜂育种具有重要意义。
