Their health and survival are threatened by diminishing floral resources, pesticide exposure, parasitic mites, and microbial and viral diseases. Among these stressors, viral infections are particularly challenging, often exacerbated by the parasitic mite\n                      <jats:italic>Varroa destructor<\/jats:italic>\n                      , a competent vector of multiple honey bee viruses. Understanding the mechanisms underlying honey bee-virus interactions is critical for mitigating the negative impact of infections on colony health. One understudied aspect is the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in viral pathogenesis and antiviral defense. miRNAs are short, non-coding RNAs produced by both hosts and pathogens that act as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression and can influence host-pathogen dynamics during infection. In this study, we used a honey bee-derived cell line to test the hypothesis that viral infection perturbs honey bee- and viral-encoded miRNA expression.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Small RNA libraries from honey bee AmE-711 cells subjected to one of four treatments: media change only (uninfected), heat-killed Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), the viral mimic Poly(I:C), or infectious ABPV, were prepared using an Illumina Revvity NextFlex V4 Small RNA kit and sequenced in single-read 51-base mode on the Illumina NextSeq 2000 platform using the NextSeq 2000 P3 Reagents kit.
