Disease, drugs and a social life: insights from humble bee genomes
Researchers, Seth Barribeau and Ben Sadd, tell us how the first full genome sequences of two bumblebee species give valuable hints about threats to bees'… Read more »
Seth Barribeau works on the interactions between insect hosts and their microbial associates, both beneficial and harmful, and how both players influence the evolution of their partners. Seth is an assistant professor in the ecology and evolution of infectious disease at East Carolina University.
Dr. Ben Sadd is an Assistant Professor of Infectious Disease Ecology, working at Illinois State University. He studies interactions between hosts and diseases from an evolutionary ecology perspective. Dr. Sadd works on general concepts, but uses mainly insects as study systems, and primarily bumblebees and their parasites.
