Morphological variation of Varroa destructor (Parasitiformes, Varroidae) in different seasons

Biosystems Diversity, 2020
Varroosis is one of the most dangerous and common diseases of honey bees (Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758) worldwide, caused by gamasid mites of the species Varroa destructor Anderson and Trueman, 2000.

The salivary gland transcriptome of Varroa destructor reveals suitable targets for RNAi-based mite control. [PDF]

Insect Mol Biol
RNAseq and differential expression analysis identified 15 salivary gland genes encoding secreted proteins with putative anti‐bacterial, anti‐fungal, cytolytic, digestive and immunosuppressive function. The three most highly transcribed genes were selected to study their functional importance by reverse genetics, using a non‐invasive approach of dsRNA ...

The use of RNA interference for the management of arthropod pests in livestock farms L'uso di RNA interferente per il controllo degli artropodi infestanti negli allevamenti

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 631-646, December 2023., 2023
Problems caused by arthropod pests to livestock production are increasing due to new legal restrictions on pesticide use, insurgence of resistance to insecticides in pest populations and climate change. RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel approach to pest control based on specific gene silencing in target species, characterised by a selective action ...

Towards integrated control of varroa: effect of variation in hygienic behaviour among honey bee colonies on mite population increase and deformed wing virus incidence [PDF]

, 2014
Hygienic behaviour in the honey bee, Apis mellifera, is the uncapping and removal of dead, diseased or infected brood from sealed cells by worker bees. We determined the effect of hygienic behaviour on varroa population growth and incidence of deformed ...

Deformed wing virus genotypes A and B do not elicit immunologically different responses in naïve honey bee hosts. [PDF]

Insect Mol Biol
We measured immune gene expression in DWV‐infected pupae in the absence of Varroa and found no evidence that DWV genotypes elicit a different immune response in honey bees. The antiviral siRNA response does not inhibit DWV from accumulating to high loads, with DWV siRNA response comparatively weaker than another honey bee virus, black queen cell virus (
