Induction of bioprocesses due to malnutrition in infected bees was more evident comparatively to pollen feeding (CN > PN) than Bee-Pro (CN > BN) and MegaBee (CN > PN), notably stimulating 11 genes associated with response to starvation (Ak6, Mat89Ba, CG8038, l(2)k09022, CG9422, CG12325, CG30349, Atg16, CG14057, Gnat and Dicer-1). This evidence concerns the gene AK6 and nutritional deficiency disease.
