Nosema ceranae Gene Expression Under Bidens pilosa Treatment in Honey Bees

Yi-Hsuan Li's dataset contains transcriptome profiling data of the microsporidian parasite Nosema ceranae from infected honey bee midguts. The data was generated from controlled laboratory cage experiments where infected bees were treated with Bidens pilosa phytogenic extract, with samples collected at 5, 10, and 20 days post-infection. The dataset was last updated on June 3, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze stage-dependent gene expression changes in N. ceranae based on transcriptomic profiles at multiple time points.
• Investigate the impact of phytogenic treatment on parasite metabolic pathways based on Gene Ontology and KEGG analysis results.
• Study the relationship between V-type ATPase pathway suppression and pathogen load based on RNAi-mediated knockdown experiments.

Strengths

• Data is derived from controlled laboratory cage experiments with defined treatment groups of 50 bees per replicate.
• Transcriptomic analysis covers multiple time points (5, 10, and 20 days post-infection) for temporal dynamics.
• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (12.6 KB), indicating a limited scope of data.
