Evaluation of efficacy of formic acid and thermal remediation for management of Tropilaelaps and Varroa mites in central Thailand

M. Sankovitz, N. Steinhauer, T. Yemor, S. C. Cook, J. D. Evans, S. D. Ramsey

This study evaluates formic acid and thermal remediation for controlling Tropilaelaps and Varroa mites in honey bee colonies, finding formic acid more effective than thermal treatment.

Kleptocytosis: Comparative Proteomics and Functional Imaging Show Varroa destructor Co-opts Intact Host Proteins for Rapid Development and Reproduction

L. N. Taylor, J. D. Hein, D. Sonenshine, R. Panzer, M. Henry, C. Borke, J. Kominsky, W. O. Hemphill, S. C. Cook, M. Sankovitz, C. Gulbronson, J. D. Evans, D. vanEngelsdorp, C. Ebmeier, R. Ochoa, S. D. Ramsey

This paper shows Varroa destructor steals intact host proteins for rapid development and reproduction, describing this as 'kleptocytosis'.

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

E. V. Ryabov, F. Posada-Florez, C. W. Rogers, Z. S. Lamas, J. D. Evans, Y. Chen, S. C. Cook

This study shows that Varroa destructor mites vector Deformed wing virus (DWV) with varying efficiency depending on their phoretic stage and the DWV type they transmit, with DWV-B reducing mite lifespan.

A novel system for maintaining Varroa destructor mites on artificial diets and its application for studying mites as a vector for honey bee viruses.

F. Posada-Florez, E. V. Ryabov, M. C. Heerman, Y. Chen, J. D. Evans, S. C. Cook, D. E. Sonenshine

This paper introduces a novel in vitro system to maintain Varroa destructor mites on artificial diets and demonstrates their ability to acquire and transmit honey bee viruses.

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.
