Viral infections Flashcards
main causes of honeybee colony loss
parasite varroa

can viral infections be asymptomatic
yes
what can viruses affect
eggs
larvae
pupae
adults
the way an infection can spread
horizontally or vertically
predisposing factors leading to viral infections
crowded population
stressful eg due to varroa mite infestation
main cause of honeybee loss
Parasite Varroa
Pesticides
Food shortage in form of wildflower loss
rna viruses
Dicistroviridae
Iflaviridae:
dna viruses
Apis mellifera filamentous virus
what is dicistroviridae known by
acute bee paralysis
israeli acute paralysis
kashmir bee virus
black queen cell
what is iflaviridae known by
deformed wing virus
kakugo virus
varroa destructor virus 1
sacbrood virus
slow bee paralysis virus
taxonomically unclassified viruses
chronic bee paralysis
lake sinai viruses
which virus was first detected in hungary
acute bee paralysis
which bees does ABPV mainly affect
worker bees
how does ABPV infect
via salivary glands of infected bees
what is the vector of ABPV
varroa destructor
symptoms of ABPV
no symptoms or trembling, paralysis of wings and bodies with 2-4 days and death 1-2 days later
larvae of bees infected with ABPV
if fed sufficiently with virus will die before sealed in their cells
chronic bee paralysis affects
workers and pupae
infection by CPV
via mouth/pore in cuticle left by broken hairs
when does CPV kill bees the quickest
at higher temperature of over 30 degrees
