Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission of Kashmir bee virus by the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor
TL;DR: The ability of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor to transmit Kashmir bee virus to the Western honey bee was investigated by exposing pupae from aKBV-negative colony to varying numbers of adult female mites from KBV-positive colonies, supporting the conclusion of virus transmission from mite to bee pupae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae endophytically colonize cassava roots following soil drench inoculation.
Melinda Greenfield,María I. Gómez-Jiménez,Viviana Ortiz,Fernando E. Vega,Matthew Kramer,Soroush Parsa,Soroush Parsa +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the fungal entomopathogens Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae to determine if endophytic colonization could be achieved in cassava.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study shows that IAPV is established as a persistent infection in honey bee populations, likely enabled by both horizontal and vertical transmission pathways, and indicates a novel therapeutic strategy for limiting multiple honey bee viruses simultaneously and reducing colony losses due to viral diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New in Vitro Bioassay System for Discovery of Novel Human-Use Mosquito Repellents
TL;DR: A Klun & Debboun (K&D) test module was adapted for in vitro evaluation of mosquito repellents by coupling the module with a membrane-blood reservoir and the observed proportions of both mosquito species deterred from biting in the fixed doses were similar to those obtained using humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical guidelines for Apis mellifera research
Christian Walter Werner Pirk,Joachim R. de Miranda,Matthew Kramer,Tomás E. Murray,Francesco Nazzi,Dave Shutler,Jozef J. M. van der Steen,Coby van Dooremalen,Martin Luther,Nova Scotia,Wageningen Ur +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guidelines on statistical design and analysis of data for all kinds of honey bee research, including how, where, and when to sample bees from colonies, as well as where to find help and which types of software could be useful.
