Nosema ceranae Gene Expression Under Bidens pilosa Treatment in Honey Bees

Transcriptome profiling of the microsporidian parasite Nosema ceranae in infected honey bee midguts treated with Bidens pilosa extract. Data includes gene expression profiles at 5, 10, and 20 days post-infection, generated by Yi-Hsuan Li and last updated in June 2026. The 122.3 KB Excel file contains results from controlled laboratory cage experiments with 50 bees per replicate.

Use Cases

• Analyze stage-dependent gene expression changes in N. ceranae based on transcriptomic profiles at multiple time points.
• Investigate the suppression of metabolic and ion transport pathways based on Gene Ontology and KEGG analysis results.
• Study the potential role of the V-type ATPase pathway in parasite proliferation based on RNAi knockdown experiment data.

Strengths

• Data is derived from controlled laboratory cage experiments with 50 bees per replicate and independent repeats.
• Transcriptomic analysis covers three distinct time points (5, 10, and 20 days post-infection).
• Results are linked to specific biological outcomes, including improved host survival and reduced pathogen load.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is small at 122.3 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a summary of results rather than raw sequencing data.
