Dr. Sergio Perandin, a veterinarian and beekeeper who collaborates on the Parsil project, was invited as a speaker at the Meliza 2026 Fair, held in Zamora, Spain, from February 20 to 22.
RNA interference (RNAi) is a natural form of genetic defense against pathogens and parasites adopted by many plants and animals, which specifically targets the nucleic acids of pest organisms.
We are excited to share the publication of our groundbreaking study just published in Parasites&Vectors: “First evidence of the effectiveness of a field application of RNAi technology in reducing infestation of the mite Varroa destructor in the western honey bee (Apis mellifera)”
Padua, 6 December 2024 – An event of great interest for the livestock and beekeeping sector will be held next 6 December at the Aula Magna of the Antonio Vallisneri multifunctional centre of the University of Padua
Interference as a sustainable and innovative tool for managing Varroa destructor and Dermanyssus gallinae”, coordinated by Prof. Giuseppe Fusco in collaboration with Smart Bugs and NEWPHARM Srl
