The effect of two protoporphyrin IX derivatives conjugated with single (PP[Lys(TFA)-OH)]<sub>2</sub>) or double (PP[Lys(TFA)-Lys(TFA)-OH]<sub>2</sub>) lysine moieties on the infectious capacity of <i>Nosema ceranae</i> spores was examined, and their efficacies were compared with those of a cationic porphyrin (H<sub>2</sub>TTMePP). Honeybees were inoculated with spores preincubated with porphyrins or with untreated spores (control). A significantly lower level of infection was observed in the bee ...[more]
