Better Bee health through Biotech: >>Since its discovery over a decade ago, remarkable progress has been made in unraveling the molecular mechanisms associated with RNAi. Despite great potential for this remarkable process in disease control, many challenges remain, ranging from potential side-effects for the bee hosts to delivery challenges and even counter-counter-attacks by the viral targets. These unsolved problems must be overcome before RNAi is used routinely as a therapeutic agent for diseases. As the pace of new findings and discoveries of applications continues to gain momentum and genomic information of honey bees and critical honey bee pests and pathogens accumulate, we anticipate that RNAi will be an effective and non-toxic therapeutic alternative for the treatment of bee diseases in the future.
