SOAT1 and infection: The ace-miR-1277-x is at the center of the regulatory network in the late stage of the host’s infection with A. apis, indicating that ace-miR-1277-x may be a key miRNA in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and phagosome that regulates the response of bees to A. apis in the late stage of A. apis infection (Figure 8B,C,E,F).
