In the past centuries, viruses have benefited from globalization to spread across the globe,
infecting new host species and populations. A growing number of viruses have been …

Deformed wing virus (DWV) has become the most well-known, widespread, and intensively
studied insect pathogen in the world. Although DWV was previously present in honeybee …

The decline of many bumblebee species (Bombus spp.) has been linked to an increased
prevalence of pathogens caused by spillover from managed bees. Although poorly …

Numerous studies have recently reported on the discovery of bee viruses in different
arthropod species and their possible transmission routes, vastly increasing our …

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 …

Novel transmission routes can directly impact the evolutionary ecology of infectious
diseases, with potentially dramatic effect on host populations and knock‐on effects on the …

The strong association between Varroa destructor, deformed wing virus (DWV), and high
overwintering colony losses (OCL) of honey bees is well established. Three DWV master …

Simple Summary Floral resource availability is one of the keys to preserving the health of
bee communities. However, flowers also present a risk of pathogen transmission, as infected …

Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a persistent pathogen of European honey bees and the major
contributor to overwintering colony losses. The prevalence of DWV in honey bees has led to …

The parasitic mite Varroa destructor is a leading cause of mortality for Western honey bee
(Apis mellifera) colonies around the globe. We sought to confirm the presence and likely …
