A virulent strain of deformed wing virus (DWV) of honeybees (Apis mellifera) prevails after Varroa destructor-mediated, or in vitro, transmission.

TL;DR: Identification of a virulent variant of DWV, the role of Varroa in its transmission and the resulting host transcriptome changes furthers the authors' understanding of this important viral pathogen of honeybees.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombinants between Deformed wing virus and Varroa destructor virus-1 may prevail in Varroa destructor-infested honeybee colonies.

TL;DR: A strong correlation was observed between VDV-1(DVD) levels in honeybee pupae and associated mites, suggesting that this recombinant is better adapted to transmission between V. destructor and honeybees than the parental DWV or a recombinant bearing the VDD-1-derived 5'-UTR (VDV- 1(VVD).

Short Communication Recombinants between Deformed wing virus and Varroa destructor virus-1 may prevail in Varroa destructor-infested honeybee colonies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high-throughput Illumina sequencing to identify recombinants between deformed wing virus (DWV) and Varroa destructor virus-1 (VDV-1), which accumulate to higher levels than DWV in both honeybees and VDV mites.
