• Swarming in honey bees (Apis mellifera) and Varroa destructor population development in Sweden. (2003, background): “…reproduction by colony fission is ideal for vertical transmission of parasites (between individuals, between generations) to new colonies and probably has consequences for the development of virulence in host-parasite relationships in honey bees under natural conditions (Fries and Camazine, 2001).”
• Characteristics of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera) in Sweden surviving Varroa destructor infestation (2011, background): “1990, 1999; Charrièr and Imdorf 2002), but most importantly, they remove the selective pressures on the mites and the host that may otherwise produce a stable host–parasite relationship through co-adaptive evolution (Fries and Camazine 2001).”
• Standard methods for virus research in Apis mellifera (2013, background): “The relationship between transmission and virulence is a major topic in pathogen-host evolutionary theory (e.g. Ebert and Bull, 2003) and has been discussed within the context of honey bee colony structure (Fries and Camazine, 2001) and honey bee virus transmission (de Miranda and Genersch, 2010).”
• Biology and control of Varroa destructor. (2010, background): “Generally, pathogens that rely mainly on horizontal transmission are likely to develop more virulent host–parasite relationships, while vertical transmission should favor more benign relationships (Fries and Camazine, 2001).”
• Survival of mite infested (Varroa destructor) honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies in a Nordic climate (2006, background): “This means that beekeepers should not constantly remove mites from the system through mite control methods (Fries and Camazine, 2001).”
