Dynamic evolution in the key honey bee pathogen Deformed wing virus

E. V. Ryabov, A. K. Childers, D. Lopez, K. Grubbs, F. Posada-Florez, D. Weaver, W. Girten, D. vanEngelsdorp, Y. Chen, J. D. Evans

This study investigates the population dynamics of Deformed wing virus (DWV) in honey bees, finding high genetic diversity in US colonies and proposing a model of diversification driven by negative frequency-dependent selection.

Deformed wing virus type A, a major honey bee pathogen, is vectored by the mite Varroa destructor in a non-propagative manner.

F. Posada-Florez, A. K. Childers, M. C. Heerman, N. I. Egekwu, S. C. Cook, Y. P. Chen, J. D. Evans, E. V. Ryabov

This study shows that Deformed wing virus type A is transmitted by Varroa mites without replication in the mites, as viral load decreases after passage and negative-strand RNA is only detected in mites exposed to high viral loads.
