Kudonha kwenyuchi nyuchi idambudziko rakakura kuCanada, uye pasi rose. Zvirimwa zvakakosha zvinosanganisira canola, blueberry, cranberry, almond, pear, maapuro uye nezvimwe, zvinoenderana nechipembenene chinoshingaira mukumesa. Sezvineiwo, mite Varroa destructor inodya nyuchi pazera nepwere, ichidzipedza simba uye kutapurira utachiona hunouraya hunokonzera kuparara kwekoloni.
Mari yekutsiviwa neColony, zvishoma zvekunetsekana kwedu, zvinosvika ~ $400 M pagore muCanada neUS zvakabatanidzwa. Kunyanya kudhura, kurasika mukume uye bhizinesi rekumora uchi, uye zvakakonzera kudzikira kwezvirimwa zvemichero, zvinosvika kurasikirwa mumabhiriyoni pagore. Vapfuri nyuchi vanorapa nyuchi nenyuchi gore rega rega apo mite inokwira muchirimo nechirimo asi zviri kuramba zvichinetsa kugadzirisa zvirwere.
Pane nzira shanu chete dzekurapa dzinoshandiswa zvakanyanya. Imwe yeiyi iri kuratidza zviratidzo zvekuramba, uye marapiro maviri ane ngura uye akaoma kushandisa. Zvirongwa zveEffective Integrated Pest Management (IPM) zvakakosha kudzivirira kutanga kwekusagadzikana kwezvipembenene uye kuchengetedza kudzora mite kwakanaka, uye izvi zvinoda kushandiswa kwemishonga yakasiyana-siyana mukutenderera. Chirongwa chinopihwa mari neGenome BC, Kucherechedzwa kwenzvimbo dzakanangwa dzeacaricide nyowani kurwisa nyuchi nyuchi, Varroa destructor inopa chinyorwa, chishandiso chinodiwa nekukurumidza muIPM.
"Acaricide itsva yekurwisa varroa isingakuvadzi nyuchi uye isina mhedzisiro yakaipa mumhuka dzine vertebrate yakawanikwa," anodaro Dr. Erika Plettner, mutevedzeri weprojekiti uye Purofesa weChemistry paSimon Fraser University. "Chirongwa chedu chine chinangwa chekuona kushanda kwekomboni iyi itsva iyo yatinoda kuti itenderwe uye ishandiswe." Plettner ari kushanda pamwe naDr. Leonard Foster, mutevedzeri weprojekiti uye Purofesa muMichael Smith Laboratories kuUBC, kushandisa maturusi eproteomics kuti aone chinangwa che molecular uye kuona kuti ingashandiswa sei, rini uye kupi.
Izvo zvinotarisirwa kuita kwetsvagurudzo iyi ichave shanduko muindasitiri yekuchengeta nyuchi uye nekumwe. Ruzivo pamusoro penzvimbo yekomboni itsva inonangwa muzvipembenene zvakakosha pakunyoreswa nevakuru vezvehutano, chinova chipingamupinyi chikuru pamusika weacaricide itsva iyi. Kunzwisisa nzvimbo yakanangwa uye nzira yekudyidzana kuchabatsira timu, uye vashandisi vekupedzisira kuti vawedzere kuvandudza chigadzirwa, kuumbwa kwayo, uye hurongwa hwekushandisa muIPM zvirongwa.
"Kuchengetedzwa kwechikafu chinhu chinonyanya kunetsa nyika dzepasirese," akadaro Federica Di Palma, Chief Scientific Officer uye Mutevedzeri weMutungamiri, Sectors kuGenome BC. "Chingangoita chikamu chimwe muzvitatu chezvirimwa zvinotsamira pakumeserwa nenyuchi uye kugadzirisa kusamira kwezvipembenene idanho rakakura rekuchengetedza nzvimbo."
Iyo purojekiti ichaenderera kusvika Gunyana 2023 saka kudzidza kwekutanga kunogona kushandiswa kutenderera kunotevera kwekuedzwa kwemunda. Chirongwa ichi chakatsigirwa nemari kuburikidza neGenome BC's Pilot Innovation Fund (PIF). Chinhu chakakosha cheGenome BC's innovation strategy, PIF chirongwa chemari chinoenderana nemamiriro ezvirongwa zvinopihwa nehurumende (s) nevamwe uku ichienderana nezvinodiwa zve 'omics ecosystem yatinotsigira. Iyo PIF inovavarira kupa mari dzakasiyana seti yemapurojekiti ehunyanzvi ane mukana wekubudirira.
ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- Leonard Foster, project co-lead and a Professor in the Michael Smith Laboratories at UBC, to apply proteomics tools to identify the molecular target and determine how, when and where it can be applied.
- A Genome BC funded project, Identification of the target sites of a new acaricide against the honey bee parasite, Varroa destructor offers a novel, urgently needed tool in IPM.
- Understanding the target site and mechanism of interaction will help the team, and end-users to further improve the product, its formulation, and the schedule of application in IPM schemes.
