ALT A graphic for the 2026 Research in Focus photo contest, featuring six photos from previous contests.
ALT A collage of six images representing scientific research is shown. Top left: a metal greenhouse structure. Top right: two oxen with traditional headgear. Middle left: a chick in close-up. Middle right: a lemur on a tree. Bottom left: researchers in icy terrain with equipment. Bottom right: an insect interacting with a small object in a laboratory setting. The title "2026 Research in Focus Photo Contest" is prominently displayed in the center.

ALT Host-pathogen interactions are shaped by ecological and evolutionary factors, including exposure to phytochemicals that function as both therapeutic and toxic agents. In honey bees (Apis mellifera), the microsporidian pathogen Nosema ceranae affects health and reduces survival, yet the role of phytochemicals in mediating disease remains poorly understood. Milkweeds (Asclepias spp.), planted to support Monarch butterfly conservation, produce toxic cardenolides that deter herbivores and parasites, and to which flower visitors can be exposed by consumption of nectar. We experimentally tested how consumption of ecologically relevant cardenolide concentrations in artificial nectar influenced Nosema ceranae infection, survival, and weight change in honey bee workers.
