nce-miR-12220 is a vital regulator for microsporidian to infect honeybee via positive modulation of ATP-A and γ-tubulin genes
Microsporidia rely extensively on host resources, yet how parasite-derived microRNAs coordinate infection remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the function of nce-miR-12220, a miRNA identified in Nosema ceranae spores, during infection of Apis mellifera workers. Target prediction, dual-luciferase assays, an...
