Parasitic Varroa destructor mites influence flight duration and homing ability of infested Apis mellifera foragers (2006, background): “The common observation in colonies collapsing due to Varroosis is a pronounced loss of forager bees (Martin, 1997) which corresponds well to the observed behavioural changes, though a shortened life span of workers emerging from cells infested by reproducing mites (Schneider and Drescher, 1987; Kova”
Standard methods for virus research in Apis mellifera (2013, background): “Several such qualitative multiplex protocols have been designed for honey bee viruses (Chen et al., 2004b; Topley et al., 2005; Grabensteiner et al., 2007; Weinstein-Texiera et al., 2008; Meeus et al., 2010).”
Virus infections and winter losses of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera) (2010, background): “Viruses are often correlated with dwindling and ultimately the “normal” (i.e. without CCD symptoms) winter mortality of colonies, especially in association with the ubiquitous ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor (Chen et al., 2004; Chen and Siede, 2007; Ribière et al., 2008).”
A historical review of managed honey bee populations in Europe and the United States and the factors that may affect them. (2010, background): “mites, but there is still no proof of viral replication in mite tissues (Chen et al., 2004; Shen et al., 2005).”
Immune pathways and defence mechanisms in honey bees Apis mellifera (2006, background): “Bees are also parasitized by mites and other arthropods, raising risks of both pathogen infection (Kanbar & Engels, 2003; Chen et al., 2004) and lower abilities to combat disease (Gregory et al., 2005; Yang & Cox-Foster, 2005).”
Importance of pollinators in changing landscapes for world crops (2007, background): “1996; Delaplane & Mayer 2000; Anonymous 2005) largely owing to: (i) the spread of pests like parasitic mites (Varroa jacobsoni, V. destructor and Acarapis woodi; Downey & Winston 2001; Chen et al. 2004), the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida; Evans et al.”
