Gut microbiome of Vespa orientalis: functional insights and potential honey bee pathogen dynamics

Abstract Vespa orientalis, the oriental hornet, is an emerging predator of honey bees whose ecological impact and microbial ecology remain poorly understood. Here, we present the first detailed characterisation of its gut microbiota by integrating 16S rRNA gene sequencing, predicted microbial functi...
