Varroasis occurs with the Varroa entrance in the hive, carried by infected bees: the mite can begin its parasitism and attack the brood. When the queen gives birth to new larvaes in honeycombs, the fertilized adult female Varroa mite will come into it before capping, and lay her eggs. The larvaes will develop, increasing the overall infection that affects bee population. To tackle this issue, it is necessary to attract Varroa carried by honeybees before they come into the hive.

Notre équipe s'est engagée pour la protection des abeilles en combattant le varroa. Le but de notre projet est d'élaborer une bactérie capable d'attirer et d'éliminer le parasite en utilisant les outils de biologie synthétique. Notre bactérie, appelée ApiColi, sera confinée dans un piège et produira en alternance une molécule qui attire le varroa ainsi qu'un poison pour le Varroa destructor, et ce, en tenant compte du cycle de vie des abeilles. Notre piège sera scellé pour éviter tout contact entre la bactérie et les abeilles, ainsi que l'environement. Nous espérons que notre concept pourra permettre d'éviter la diminution des populations d'abeilles et ses conséquences désastreuses.
