Deleterious Effects of Neonicotinoid Pesticides on Drosophila melanogaster Immune Pathways

Deleterious Effects of Neonicotinoid Pesticides on Drosophila melanogaster Immune Pathways

Sublethal exposure to certain pesticides (e.g., neonicotinoid insecticides) is suspected to contribute to honey bee (Apis mellifera) population decline in North America. Neonicotinoids are known to interfere with immune pathways in the gut of insects, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. We...
