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
Systemic Spread and Propagation of a Plant-Pathogenic Virus in European Honeybees, Apis mellifera
Ji Lian Li,R. Scott Cornman,Jay D. Evans,Jeffery S. Pettis,Yan Zhao,Charles Murphy,Wen Jun Peng,Jie Wu,Michele Hamilton,Humberto Boncristiani,Liang Zhou,John Hammond,Yanping Chen +12 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided of the first evidence that honeybees exposed to virus-contaminated pollen could also be infected and raises awareness of potential risks of new viral disease emergence due to host shift events.
Journal ArticleDOI
New evidence showing that the destruction of gut bacteria by antibiotic treatment could increase the honey bee's vulnerability to Nosema infection.
Jiang Hong Li,Jiang Hong Li,Jay D. Evans,Wen Feng Li,Ya Zhou Zhao,Gloria DeGrandi-Hoffman,Shaokang Huang,Zhiguo Li,Michele Hamilton,Yanping Chen +9 more
TL;DR: New evidence is added that antibiotic treatment in combination with stress, associated with Nosema infection, significantly and negatively impacts honey bee survival and leads to the complex problem of antibiotic resistance but can impact honey bee disease resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of Persistent and Acute Deformed Wing Virus Infections in Honey Bees, Apis mellifera
Gennaro Di Prisco,Xuan Zhang,Francesco Pennacchio,Emilio Caprio,Jilian Li,Jay D. Evans,Gloria DeGrandi-Hoffman,Michele Hamilton,Yanping Chen +8 more
TL;DR: The results showed that temperature decline could lead to not only significant decrease in the rate for pupae to emerge as adult bees, but also an increased severity of the virus infection in emerged bees, partly explaining the high levels of winter losses of managed honey bees, Apis mellifera, around the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular approaches to the analysis of deformed wing virus replication and pathogenesis in the honey bee, Apis mellifera.
TL;DR: A strand-specific RT-PCR-based method for analysis of Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) replication in honey bees and in honey bee parasitic mites, Varroa Destructor forms a model system for studying bee virus replication, pathogenesis and immunity.
