| Özet |
| One of the most important honeybee pathogens is the mite Varroa destructor, which threats honeybee health and incomes from bee keeping. Varroa mite, among other effects, can cause oxidative stress which is indicated by alterations in antioxidant enzyme activity and total protein levels. In this study, activities of catalase, glutathione S-transferase, superoxide dismutase enzymes and quantity of total protein levels were compared in mite infested and mite-free adult worker bees. Superoxide dismutase enzyme activity remarkably increased in mite infested bees as compared to uninfested ones. Catalase enzyme activity was found low in mite infested bees although no significant difference was observed in glutathione S-transferase enzyme activity. Total protein level in mite infested bees was detected lower than uninfested ones. Changes in enzyme activities and total protein levels are resulted from oxidative stress caused by mite infestation. |
