What is Interaction of field realistic doses of clothianidin and Varroa destructor parasitism on adult honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) health and neural gene expression, and antagonistic effects on differentially expressed genes about?

While many studies have examined the effects of neonicotinoid insecticides and the parasitic mite __Varroa destructor__ on honey bees (__Apis mellifera__), more information on the combined effects of such stressors on gene expression, including neural related genes, and their impact on biological pathways is needed. This study analyzed the effects of field realistic concentrations of the neonicotinoid clothianidin on adult bees infested and not infested with __V__. __destructor__ over 21 consecutive days and then determined bee survivorship, weight, deformed wing virus (DWV) levels and gene expression. __V__. __destructor__ parasitism with or without clothianidin exposure was significantly associated with decreased survivorship, weight loss and higher DWV levels, while clothianidin exposure was only associated with higher levels of DWV. Expression analysis of the neural genes __AmNlg-1__, __BlCh__ and __AmAChE-2__ showed that __V__. __destructor__ caused a significant down-regulation of all of them, whereas clothianidin caused a significant down-regulation of only __AmNrx-1__ and __BlCh__. An interaction was only detected for __AmNrx-1__ expression. RNAseq analysis showed that clot
