Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the parasitic honey bee mite Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata: Varroidae) [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Varroa destructor is a parasite mite of the eastern honey bee Apis cerana, which is native to Asia. The European honey bee Apis mellifera was imported to Asia from Europe and the USA for apiculture in the 19th century.

Research progress on VARROA DESTRUCTOR [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences, 2022
Varroa destructor is the most serious threat for western honeybees worldwide. It parasitizes mostly on honeybee's pupae and larvae, resulting in impaired development, decreased immunity, residual wings, loss of flight ability, and even direct death.

An RNA interference biopesticide reduces reproduction of the honey bee parasite Varroa destructor by down-regulating embryo development pathways. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Varroa destructor mites exposed to dsRNA specific in sequence to a V. destructor calmodulin gene significantly effected gene expression of adult female mites sampled 5 days after entering a honey bee brood cell to reproduce. Significantly down‐regulated genes included Calmodulin and were associated with calcium ion binding and embryo developmental ...

Fending for Thyself: Honey Bees From Ethiopia Inflict Physical Damage on <i>Varroa destructor</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study assessed grooming and hygienic behaviors of Apis mellifera simensis in Ethiopia's Amhara region across landscapes and seasons. Despite Varroa mite levels occasionally exceeding economic thresholds, bees maintained low infestations through strong social immunity traits, suggesting natural tolerance rather than resistance.

Recombinants between Deformed wing virus and Varroa destructor virus-1 may prevail in Varroa destructor-infested honeybee colonies [PDF]

Journal of General Virology, 2011
We have used high-throughput Illumina sequencing to identify novel recombinants between deformed wing virus (DWV) and Varroa destructor virus-1 (VDV-1), which accumulate to higher levels than DWV in both honeybees and Varroa destructor mites.

Effect of Selection for Low and High Varroa destructor Population Growth Rates on the Honey Bee Transcriptome [PDF]

Pathogens
Varroa destructor is a major health problem for honey bees (Apis mellifera). Selective breeding of Varroa-resistant bees is a suitable long-term solution to Varroa parasitism.

Effectiveness of glycerin-oxalic acid strips and essential oils in controlling Varroa destructor in honeybee [PDF]

Veterinární Medicína
The decline in the bee colony strength due to high levels of Varroa destructor infestations necessitates the development of new control methods. This study evaluates the effectiveness of glycerin-oxalic acid strips and essential oils in managing Varroa ...

ERADICATING VARROA MITES (VARROA DESTRUCTOR) BY SPRAYING CLOVE TEA

Journal of Agriculture and Plant Sciences
This study is a field experiment of using clove tea as an effective treatment against varroa mites (Varroa destructor), by spraying the tea directly on all the frames in the beehive.
