Primary and secondary antiviral RNAi responses throughout Varroa destructor life stages reveal the vertical transmission of viruses

James E. Damayo, Rebecca C. McKee, Philip John Lester…·Emily J. Remnant

The paper analyzes small RNA sequencing data from Varroa destructor mites to identify primary and secondary antiviral RNAi responses and reveal vertical virus transmission.

Landscape viromics of introduced honeybees and bumblebees reveal distinct environmental and host-specific effects

Sabrina Haque, Emily J. Remnant, James E. Damayo…·Rachael Y. Dudaniec

This study compares viral communities in introduced honeybees and bumblebees across Tasmania, finding environmental factors shape bumblebee viromes more than honeybees and evidence of interspecies viral transmission.

Virus replication in the honey bee parasite, Varroa destructor

James E. Damayo, Rebecca C. McKee, Gabriele Buchmann…·Emily J. Remnant

The paper identifies six viruses actively replicating in Varroa destructor mites, including a novel virus, and shows mites act as biological vectors for honey bee pathogens.
