The vectoring competence of the mite Varroa destructor for deformed wing virus of honey bees is dynamic and affects survival of the mite

bioRxiv, 2022
The ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor and the viruses it vectors, including types A and B of Deformed wing virus (DWV), pose a major threat to honey bees, Apis mellifera. Analysis of 256 mites collected from the same set of colonies on five occasions

Wake Up and Smell the Infected Bees: Volatile Cues of Vairimorpha Infection in Honey Bees

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Infection can modify host volatile emissions, yet effects in adult honey bees remain unexplored. Using dynamic headspace sampling and GC × GC–MS, we show that Vairimorpha spp. infection significantly alters the volatile profile of adult worker honey bees over a 14‐day time series, producing stage‐specific shifts in multivariate odour structure.

Salivary gland transcriptome of Varroa destructor reveals suitable targets for dsRNA-mediated control of the mite

, 2023
Varroa destructor is a parasitic mite of honey bees and a major driver of honey bee colony losses. By feeding on the host’s body fluids, this obligate ectoparasite has a strong impact on honey bee physiology, causing the reduction of weight and ...

Varroa destructor economic injury levels and pathogens associated with colony losses in Western Canada

Frontiers in Bee Science
The honey bee parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, is considered the main factor associated with winter colony losses. To control this mite, beekeepers must implement Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies. An effective IPM strategy is based on timely

Honey bee survival mechanisms against the parasite Varroa destructor: a systematic review of phenotypic and genomic research efforts.

International Journal of Parasitology, 2020
The ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor is the most significant pathological threat to the western honey bee, Apis mellifera, leading to the death of most colonies if left untreated.

Machine Learning and Geospatial Modeling of Climate Change Impacts on Ethiopian Honeybees for Conservation and Resilient Agriculture

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The current study used machine learning and geospatial analysis to predict how climate change will loosen and fragment suitable habitats for Ethiopian honeybees. Main factors like agro‐ecological zones and dry‐season precipitation were found to be critical for bee survival.

Origins, diversity, and adaptive evolution of DWV in the honey bees of the Azores: the impact of the invasive mite Varroa destructor

Virus Evolution
Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a honey bee virus, whose emergence from relative obscurity is driven by the recent host-switch, adaptation, and global dispersal of the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor (a highly efficient vector of DWV) to reproduction ...

Surveillance of synthetic acaricide efficacy against Varroa destructor in Ontario, Canada

Canadian Entomologist, 2022
The parasitic mite Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata: Varroidae) is the main culprit of honey bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) colony mortality in Ontario, Canada. Most beekeepers use synthetic acaricides to control V.
