Key Points

To investigate how mir-3759-y influences honeybee larval defense against fungal infections through dual targeting and oxidative stress modulation.
Utilized RNAi techniques to silence specific miRNA and AMP genes in honeybee larvae.
Assessed changes in expression levels and disease outcomes following miRNA modulation.
Silencing of mir-3759-y resulted in suppressed AMP gene expression, worsening disease in larvae.
Intervention suggests potential RNAi-based strategies for controlling chalkbrood infection.

Implication

Demonstrates enhanced defense response in honeybee larvae, indicating a new control strategy for chalkbrood.

Abstract

silencing suppressed AMP genes and aggravated disease. These findings reveal a dual-target miRNA module and provide a potential RNAi-based target for chalkbrood control.
