Abstract: Compositions and methods for reducing susceptibility to infectious disease in bees using RNA interference technology, and more particularly, prevention and treatment of viral infections in honeybees such as Israel acute paralysis virus (IAPV) by feeding of pathogen-specific dsRNA. Further, multiple-pathogen specific dsRNA is disclosed.

Abstract: Liquid discharge apparatus, particularly useful as a portable inoculation gun for anti-virus inoculation of plants, includes a housing having a handle at one end configured for convenient grasping by a user, a nozzle at the opposite end for discharging liquid from a discharge opening therein, and a maniputable member manually actuatable to produce a discharge of liquid from the nozzle. The nozzle includes a gas passageway communicating with the discharge opening, and a liquid passageway communicating with the gas passageway. A gas delivery system is actuatable by the maniputable member to discharge gas at high-velocity through the discharge opening via the gas passageway. A liquid source communicates with the liquid passageway in the nozzle such that each high-velocity discharge of gas from the nozzle via the gas passageway draws a quantity of liquid from the liquid source into the gas passageway and discharges it at high-velocity with the gas through the discharge opening.
