Jean-Marc Bonmatin is co-author of an article on the effects of SDHI fungicide formulations on honeybees
Published in the *Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances* (impact factor 9.1), the article describes the combined effects on honeybees of SDHI-type fungicide formulations and Nosema-type microsporidia.

The authors demonstrate that the presence of Nosema-type microsporidia increases honeybees’ susceptibility to SDHI fungicides.
Consequently, honeybee mortality is higher than that caused by either the pesticide or the biological agent alone.
Furthermore, transcriptomic responses differ depending on the pesticide formulation, and significant effects on energy metabolism are observed with a commercial formulation widely used in agriculture.
