Journal ArticleDOI
Synergistic parasite-pathogen interactions mediated by host immunity can drive the collapse of honeybee colonies.
Francesco Nazzi,Sam P. Brown,Desiderato Annoscia,Fabio Del Piccolo,Gennaro Di Prisco,Paola Varricchio,Giorgio Della Vedova,Federica Cattonaro,Emilio Caprio,Francesco Pennacchio +9 more
TL;DR: An integrated analysis of the population and molecular changes associated with the collapse of honeybees infested by the parasitic mite Varroa destructor shows that this parasite can de-stabilise the within-host dynamics of Deformed wing virus (DWV), transforming a cryptic and vertically transmitted virus into a rapidly replicating killer, which attains lethal levels late in the season.
Journal ArticleDOI
A semiochemical from brood cells infested by Varroa destructor triggers hygienic behaviour in Apis mellifera
TL;DR: The capacity of bees to detect and empty mite-infested cells is confirmed, and volatile chemicals released by artificially infested worker brood cells are studied by means of SPME-GC-MS and Z-pentadecene significantly increased the number of cells emptied by the bees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decline in the proportion of mites resistant to fluvalinate in a population of Varroa destructor not treated with pyrethroids
TL;DR: The reversion of resistance to pyrethroids in Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman was studied in Friuli (northern Italy), where resistance was detected in 1995 and pyre Throids had not been used since.
Journal ArticleDOI
Octanoic acid confers to royal jelly varroa-repellent properties.
Francesco Nazzi,Renzo Bortolomeazzi,Giorgio Della Vedova,Fabio Del Piccolo,Desiderato Annoscia,Norberto Milani +5 more
TL;DR: Chemical analysis showed that octanoic acid is a major volatile component of royal jelly; by contrast, the concentration is much lower in drone and worker larval food, which indicates that the compound may interfere with the process of cell invasion by the mite.
Journal ArticleDOI
A semiochemical from larval food influences the entrance of Varroa destructor into brood cells
TL;DR: Chemical stimuli responsible for the biological activity of bee larval food on Varroa destructor were studied both in the laboratory and under natural conditions, suggesting that active substances were acidic and volatile.
