| Abstract | Honey bees as well as other living organisms have to face with several pathogens, thus they have to develop immune to fight with the infecting microbes. the knowledge of bee immune has been normally, used to select some resistance strains of honey bees to some diseases which tremendously help the success in apiculture. This knowledge has been currently applied for several useful aspects such as the transfer of antibiotic producing genes form honey bee into some plants to make the GMO plants resist to some plant diseases. These target genes were transferred into yeasts to get some new antibiotics that were also transferred into some insect vectors. The mosquitoes were raised as an example a the vectors for malaria and hemorrhagic fever, so that the GMO insect can destroy or reduce the microbes pathogenicity. Some important bee diseases, factors that effect and types of bee immune system, antimicrobial peptides and their applications, the diversity of some genes involving in bee immune was summarized in this article. |
