Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

On the front line: quantitative virus dynamics in honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies along a new expansion front of the parasite Varroa destructor.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Over the past fifty years, annual honeybee (Apis mellifera) colony losses have been steadily increasing worldwide. These losses have occurred in parallel with the global spread of the honeybee parasite Varroa destructor.

Rapid hormonal rise in honey bees due to heat‐shock is mitigated by a primer pheromone

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We show that honey bee foragers increased juvenile hormone (JH) titers significantly after heat‐shocked for 1 h at 40 °C, but this increase is dependent on social conditions. Increase of JH titers only happened when bees were isolated (one worker bee per vial) but not in groups.

Environmental DNA Methods for Detection of Varroa destructor in Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Hives

Environmental DNA
The parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, is a worldwide problem for honey bees (Apis mellifera). The recent spread of this pest to Australia, which was one of the few varroa‐free honey bee populations remaining, highlights the importance of effective ...

Honey bee populations surviving Varroa destructor parasitism in Latin America and their mechanisms of resistance

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The honey bee (Apis mellifera) parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, is considered one of the main causes of colony losses in European honey bee (EHB) populations around the world.

Oxidative stress in honey bees (Apis mellifera) and small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) across different landscapes

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 526-536, September 2026.
First comparative study in oxidative stress between wild bees and managed bees. Bees collected from organic landscapes exhibited the lowest OX levels. Pesticide profiles were different among landscapes. Abstract Oxidative stress (OX) is a state of imbalance between antioxidants and reactive oxygen species, which are the byproducts of oxidative ...

Omics Insights Into the Effects of Highbush Blueberry and Cranberry Crop Agroecosystems on Honey Bee Health and Physiology

PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 8, Page 41-57, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital pollinators in fruit‐producing agroecosystems like highbush blueberry (HBB) and cranberry (CRA). However, their health is threatened by multiple interacting stressors, including pesticides, pathogens, and nutritional changes.

The wild honeybee population of Europe is in decline: Evidence from monitoring studies

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Studying the population trends of wild honeybees is possible when considering that managed and wild colonies form different subpopulations within regional honeybee metapopualtions. Abstract Populations of wild western honeybees (Apis mellifera) have been neglected because the species has been considered to consist of managed colonies only.
