The τ-Fluvalinate (fluvalinate) is a highly selective pyrethroid insecticide compound used for controlling ectoparasitic mites that cause major damages in honey bee colonies. Although honey bees have resistance and low toxicity to this xenobiotic chem., little is known about the effects of this chem. on sensory modulation and behaviors in honey bees. Here we addressed the effect on olfactory cognition at the behavioral, mol., and neurophysiol. levels. First, we found that topical application of fluvalinate to honeybee abdomen elicited somewhat severe toxicity to honey bees. Furthermore, honeybees treated with sublethal doses of fluvalinate showed a significant decrease in olfactory responses. At the mol. level, there was no change in gene expression levels of odorant receptor co-receptor (Orco), which is important for elec. conductivity induced by odorant binding in insects. Rather, small neuropeptide F (sNPF) signaling pathway was involved in olfactory fluctuation after treatment of fluvalinate. This indicates that olfactory deficits by abdominal contact of fluvalinate may stem from various internal mol. pathways in honey bees.
