They also found that eating certain fungicides made bees more susceptible to infection by Nosema, a deadly microbe.

还发现吞食某种杀真得蜜蜂更易受致命微生物微孢子虫的感染。

He says that many of the pesticide found in the pollen examined by Dennis VanEngelsdorp actually protect bees from Nosema.

他说，丹尼斯·范恩格斯德多普花粉中检验出来的杀虫很多事实上都保护蜜蜂不受微孢子虫的危害。

A paper published earlier this year in Naturwissenschaften, for example, showed that even small doses of neonicotinoids weakened bees' resistance to Nosema, a common fungal parasite.

如今年早些时候自然学杂志刊登的一篇论文说明即便是小量的新烟碱削弱蜜蜂对小孢子虫-一种真寄生虫的抵抗力。
