Differential expression of the honeybee immune-related genes in response to oral DWV and Varroa mite feeding.

aHoneybee gene ID according to the Apis mellifera Official Gene Set 1 [30]. Honeybee immune-related genes included in the analysis were either those described in [33] or the honeybee homologues of the Drosophila melanogaster genes associated with Gene Ontology Biological Process term “Immune System Process” GO:0002376.bDrosophila melanogaster homologue showing highest similarity in BLAST.cDrosophila melanogaster gene name according to FlyBase.dPathway or category of gene if known (Toll - Toll signalling pathway; SP - serine protease; Scav - Scavenger receptor A; Notch - Notch signalling pathway; JNK - JNK signalling pathway; J-ST - JAK-STAT signalling pathway; IG - IG Superfamily Genes; GATA - GATA transcription factor), Immune - Immune system process gene.
