“…During the present studies protein bands of 15, 21, 27, 61 and 80 kDa were observed in A. cerana. Priya et al, (2013) also reported the presence of protein bands of 21 and 61 kDa in the sting and mandibular glands of A. cerana.…”

“…Apis cerana, Apis dorsata and Apis florea on bacteria and fungi by using SDS-PAGE and reported highest susceptibility of the pathogens to the venom of A. cerana followed by A. dorsata and A. florea. Priya et al (2013) have reported odorant-binding proteins and pheromone-carrying proteins from sting and mandibular glands of A. cerana indica using GC-MS and SDS-PAGE profile. Sixteen volatile compounds in the sting and 19 in mandibular glands of the worker honey bee were reported.…”

In Apis, biodiversity studies at genetic and molecular level were done to identify the proteins responsible for polymorphism in different species of Apis viz. Apis florea F., Apis dorsata F., Apis cerana F. and Apis mellifera L. from north-west region of India using SDS-Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Some species specific protein bands were obtained by SDS-PAGE technique followed by Commassie BB staining and silver staining. The present results revealed that the total content of proteins was highest in A. dorsata with highest number of protein bands unique to species followed by A. mellifera, A. florea and A. cerana. Most prominent were at 38.7 kDa and 35.3 kDa in A. dorsata; 46.4 kDa and 29.0 kDa in A. florea; 83.9 kDa and 40.4 kDa in A. mellifera and 61.0 kDa and 27.9 kDa in A. cerana respectively. Some species specific protein bands with silver staining were as 33.6 and 59.2 kDa in Apis florea; 57.2 kDa in A. dorsata; 49.6 and 63.6 kDa in A. mellifera and 36.1 and 38.8 kDa in A. cerana. Based on identification of these unique bands, it is concluded that the species with wide geographic distribution have large number of protein bands as compared to species with least distribution area.

“…Alkanes act as cues in social insects but vary intraspecifically according to factors such as the stage of development, genetics, or temperature [24]. In honeybees, nonadecane (C19) was closely related to an alarm signal secreted by the mandibular gland [25]. Heneicosane (C 21 ) was identified as a cuticular hydrocarbon in both V. velutina [3] and V. crabro [26] and as a volatile defence in the hive environment [27].…”

Assessment of the In Vivo and In Vitro Release of Chemical Compounds from Vespa velutina

Vespa velutina has been rapidly expanding throughout Galicia since 2012. It is causing human health risks and well-known losses in the beekeeping sector. Control methods are scarce, unspecific, and ineffective. Semiochemicals are insect-derived chemicals that play a role in communication and they could be used an integrated pest management tool alternative to conventional pesticides. A previous determination of the organic chemical profile should be the first step in the study of these semiochemicals. HS-SPME in living individuals and the sting apparatus extraction followed by GC-MS spectrometry were combined to extract a possible profile of these compounds in 43 hornets from Galicia. The identified compounds were hydrocarbons, ketones, terpenes, and fatty acid, and fatty acid esters. Nonanal aldehyde appeared in important concentrations in living individuals. While pentadecane, 8-hexyl- and ethyl oleate were mainly extracted from the venom apparatus. Ketones 2-nonanone, 2-undecanone and 7-nonen-2-one, 4,8-dimethyl- were identified by both procedures, as was 1,7-Nonadiene, 4,8-dimethyl-. Some compounds were detected for the first time in V. velutina such as naphthalene, 1,6-dimethyl-4-(1-methylethyl). The chemical profile by caste was also characterized.
