Several methods were implemented to determine the expression levels of heat shock protein (Hsp70), vitelogenin (Vg), and genes related to immunity, induced by acaricides commonly used in apiculture in both the host (Apis mellifera) and its parasite (Varroa destructor). Results herein demonstrate some of the effects of acaricide molecules at immune level, and show a gene- and protein-expression analysis of proteins proposed as potential toxicity biomarkers.
