Varroa‐Sensitive Hygiene (VSH) as a Potential Contributor to the Natural Survival of Ethiopian Honey Bees (Apis mellifera simensis) Against Varroa destructor Mite [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigated Varroa‐sensitive hygiene (VSH) in worker brood cells of Apis mellifera simensis artificially infested with a single Varroa destructor mite. Removal responses reached 64.9% and 83.7% in patches of eight and ten neighbouring infested cells, respectively, compared with 21.5% and 23.1% in controls, while uncapping responses reached ...

Developing a method to rear Varroa destructor in vitro

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2023
Abstract Varroa destructor is a significant mite pest of western honey bees (Apis mellifera). Developing a method to rear and maintain populations of V. destructor in vitro would provide year-round access to the mites, allowing scientists to study their biology, behavior, and control more rapidly.

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 ...

Surveillance of Viruses in Varroa destructor Samples Collected from Honey Bee Colonies in Ontario, Canada, between 2015 and 2019

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2022
Varroa destructor parasitism is associated with extreme honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony losses in the northern hemisphere. Varroa destructor causes severe damage, including a decrease in bee longevity and immunosuppression, and acts as a vector for ...

A virulent strain of deformed wing virus (DWV) of honeybees (Apis mellifera) prevails after varroa destructor-mediated, or in vitro, transmission [PDF]

, 2014
The globally distributed ectoparasite Varroa destructor is a vector for viral pathogens of the Western honeybee (Apis mellifera), in particular the Iflavirus Deformed Wing Virus (DWV).

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

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.
