RNA virus spillover from managed honeybees (Apis mellifera) to wild bumblebees (Bombus spp.)
PLoS ONE, 2019 The decline of many bumblebee species (Bombus spp.) has been linked to an increased prevalence of pathogens caused by spillover from managed bees. Although poorly understood, RNA viruses are suspected of moving from managed honeybees (Apis mellifera ...
