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.

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.

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.

An Insight Into the microRNA Profile of the Ectoparasitic Mite Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae), the Primary Vector of Honey Bee Deformed Wing Virus

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
The remarkably adaptive mite Varroa destructor is the most important honey bee ectoparasite. Varroa mites are competent vectors of deformed wing virus (DWV), and the Varroa-virus complex is a major determinant of annual honey bee colony mortality and ...

Edge-Based Detection of Varroosis in Beehives with IoT Devices with Embedded and TPU-Accelerated Machine Learning

Applied Sciences, 2021
One of the causes of mortality in bees is varroosis, a bee disease caused by the Varroa destructor mite. Varroa destructor mites may occur suddenly in beehives, spread across them, and impair bee colonies, which finally die. Edge IoT (Internet of Things)

Detection of Varroa destructor Infestation of Honeybees Based on Segmentation and Object Detection Convolutional Neural Networks

AgriEngineering, 2023
Varroa destructor infestation is a major factor leading to the global decline of honeybee populations. Monitoring the level of Varroa mite infestation in order to take timely control measures is crucial for the protection of bee colonies.

Effect of Using Drone Brood Cells as Traps Against Varroa destructor (Varroa Mite)

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2021
Today, the honeybee parasite Varroa destructor is thought to be the most dangerous creature in the beekeeping industry worldwide. In this study, the efficacy of using drone brood cells (known to have no residue concerns in bee products and harmless on ...

Genotype, but Not Climate, Affects the Resistance of Honey Bees (Apis mellifera) to Viral Infections and to the Mite Varroa destructor

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
This study was conducted to analyze the effect of genotype and climate on the resistance of honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies to parasitic and viral diseases. The prevalence and intensity of parasitism by Varroa destructor, or infection by Nosema spp.,

A toolkit for studying Varroa genomics and transcriptomics: preservation, extraction, and sequencing library preparation

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background The honey bee parasite, Varroa destructor, is a leading cause of honey bee population declines. In addition to being an obligate ectoparasitic mite, Varroa carries several viruses that infect honey bees and act as the proximal cause of colony ...
