I'm an academic working at Victoria University on ants, bees and wasps. A major focus of my group is with invasive species.
- RNA interference as a next‐generation control method for suppressing Varroa destructor reproduction in honey bee (Apis mellifera) hives - McGruddy - Pest Management Science - Wiley Online Library
- Antoine Felden on RNZ tonight talking about honey bee health and virus-virus interactions. A virus in parasitic varroa mites might be of benefit to bees rnz.co.nz/national/progr… Work with @EmsyRemsy
- Today we release my new book “Pests and Pestilence: the management of invasive species, pests and disease in New Zealand”, available at tinyurl.com/4d6bcc6e Lessons from the past, with future pest and disease management needs. Thanks @thwupbooks & @WellingtonUni
- Congratulations to Rose McGruddy from @WellingtonUni for winning the Best Student talk at the 3rd Honey Bee Research Symposium. Her talk was “The use of RNAi as a novel control method for varroa”. Amber Bell from @waikato & Damien Fèvre from @Otago were 2nd & 3rd. @Apiculture_NZ
