Chronic parasitization by Nosema microsporidia causes global expression changes in core nutritional, metabolic and behavioral pathways in honey bee workers (Apis mellifera)

Table 3 Overlap of Nosema spp. regulated transcripts with canonical and acute immune response transcripts

	Midgut	Fat body	Fat body	All significantly, differentially regulated transcripts or genes
	N. apis(1 and 2 days pi)	N. apis(2 and 7 days pi)	Co-infected (14 days pi)
Acute immune response transcripts [[58]]	8*	14*	46*	302
Canonical immune response genes [[57]]	1	5	18	166
All significantly, differentially regulated transcripts/genes (AM ids/GB ids)	150/97	278/225	1447/1108

*Indicates significantly more overlap than expected by chance (Hypergeometric Test; p < 0.02 at most).
Study results were compared with data from [58] and [57].
