Honey bee colony losses are triggered by interacting stress factors consistently associated
with high loads of parasites and/or pathogens. A wealth of biotic and abiotic stressors are …

The health of the honeybee and, indirectly, global crop production are threatened by several
biotic and abiotic factors, which play a poorly defined role in the induction of widespread …

The association between the deformed wing virus and the parasitic mite Varroa destructor
has been identified as a major cause of worldwide honeybee colony losses. The mite acts …

Over the past 50 years, many millions of European honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies have
died as the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, has spread around the world. Subsequent …

The ectoparasitic Varroa destructor mite is a major contributor to the ongoing honey bee
health crisis. Varroa interacts with honey bee viruses, exacerbating their pathogenicity. In …

The impacts of invertebrate RNA virus population dynamics on virulence and infection
outcomes are poorly understood. Deformed wing virus (DWV), the main viral pathogen of …

Varroa mites (Varroa destructor) are ectoparasites of honey bees (Apis mellifera) and cause
serious damage to bee colonies. The mechanism of how varroa mites kill honey bees …

The ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor and honey bee pathogenic viruses have been
implicated in the recent demise of honey bee colonies. Several studies have shown that the …

Transmission routes impact pathogen virulence and genetics, therefore comprehensive
knowledge of these routes and their contribution to pathogen circulation is essential for …

Honeybee (Apis mellifera) health is threatened globally by the complex interaction of
multiple stressors, including the parasitic mite Varroa destructor and a number of pathogenic …
