Biology and control of Varroa destructor

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2010
The ectoparasitic honey bee mite Varroa destructor was originally confined to the Eastern honey bee Apis cerana. After a shift to the new host Apis mellifera during the first half of the last century, the parasite dispersed world wide and is currently considered the major threat for apiculture.

Molecular and kinetic properties of three acetylcholinesterases in the Varroa mite, Varroa destructor

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2022
The Varroa mite, Varroa destructor, poses one of the most serious threats to honey bees worldwide. Although coumaphos, an anticholinesterase pesticide, is widely used for varroa mite control, little information is available on the properties of Varroa mite acetylcholinesterases (VdAChEs).

Confirmation of the Y215H mutation in the β2 -octopamine receptor in Varroa destructor is associated with contemporary cases of amitraz resistance in the US.

Pest Management Science, 2023
BACKGROUND The parasitic mite, Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman), is a leading cause of honey bee colony losses around the world. Application of miticides such as amitraz are often the primary method of Varroa control in commercial beekeeping ...

More than sixty years living with Varroa destructor: a review of acaricide resistance

International Journal of Pest Management, 2022
Varroa destructor is one of the biggest threats to honey bee populations worldwide. Three classes of disparately acting acaricidal compounds are currently used to combat infestations: the pyrethroid insecticides, fluvalinate and flumethrin; the ...

The efficacy of small cell foundation as a varroa mite (Varroa destructor) control

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2008
Due to a continuing shift toward reducing/minimizing the use of chemicals in honey bee colonies, we explored the possibility of using small cell foundation as a varroa control. Based on the number of anecdotal reports supporting small cell as an efficacious varroa control tool, we hypothesized that bee colonies housed on combs constructed on small cell

Projecting the impacts of climate change on habitat distribution of Varroa destructor in Ethiopia using MaxEnt ecological modeling.

Science of the Total Environment
Globally, Varroa destructor has been identified as a major drivers of honeybee colony losses. Climate change may worsen its effects by creating conducive conditions for its reproduction, although our understanding of their interaction remains limited ...

The Control of Varroa destructor Using Oxalic Acid

The Veterinary Journal, 2002
Twenty-four honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies were used to monitor the efficacy of a solution of 2.9% oxalic acid (OA) and 31.9% sugar against the mite Varroa destructor. Mite mortality was established prior to and after OA treatments, which were conducted in August and September.

Interaction of acetamiprid, Varroa destructor, and Nosema ceranae in honey bees.

Journal of Hazardous Materials
Health of honey bees is threatened by a variety of stressors, including pesticides and parasites. Here, we investigated effects of acetamiprid, Varroa destructor, and Nosema ceranae, which act either alone or in combination.
