Nosema ceranae Gene Expression Under Bidens pilosa Treatment in Honey Bees

Transcriptome profiling data from a laboratory study on the effects of Bidens pilosa phytogenic extract on the microsporidian parasite Nosema ceranae in infected honey bees. The dataset, authored by Yi-Hsuan Li and last updated in June 2026, includes gene expression measurements from infected bee midguts at 5, 10, and 20 days post-infection. It is a small dataset of 105.8 KB, released under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing stage-dependent gene expression changes in Nosema ceranae based on transcriptomic profiling at multiple time points.
• Investigating the molecular basis of phytogenic treatment effects based on differential expression of parasite metabolic and ion transport genes.
• Studying the role of the V-type ATPase pathway in parasite proliferation based on RNAi knockdown results mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data is derived from controlled laboratory cage experiments with 50 bees per replicate and independent repetitions.
• Transcriptomic analysis covers multiple time points (5, 10, and 20 days post-infection) for temporal dynamics.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is small (105.8 KB), indicating a limited scope of data points.
• Data may reflect the specific experimental conditions of the laboratory study.
