Biology and control of Varroa destructor
TL;DR: This review provides a survey of the current knowledge in the main fields of Varroa research including the biology of the mite, damage to the host, host tolerance, tolerance breeding andVarroa treatment and comments on the few examples of natural tolerance in A. mellifera.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A four-year study involving more than 1200 bee colonies from about 120 apiaries which were monitored for the entire study period can demonstrate for several factors that they are significantly related to the observed winter losses of the monitored honey bee colonies.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This paper provides easy to use protocols for the collection, identification, diagnosis, rearing, breeding, marking and measurement of infestation rates and fertility of V. destructor and describes pros and cons for all methods for the user to know which method to use under which circumstances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival of mite infested (Varroa destructor) honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies in a Nordic climate
TL;DR: The data suggest that a host-parasite co-adaptation has occurred ensuring survival of both the host and the parasite in an isolated honey bee population on Gotland, an island in the Baltic sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Varroa destructor : research avenues towards sustainable control
Vincent Dietemann,Jochen Pflugfelder,Denis L. Anderson,Jean-Daniel Charrière,Nor Chejanovsky,Benjamin Dainat,Joachim R. de Miranda,Keith S. Delaplane,Franz-Xaver Dillier,Stefan Fuch,Peter Gallmann,Laurent Gauthier,Anton Imdorf,Nikolaus Koeniger,Jasna Kralj,William G. Meikle,Jeff Pettis,Peter Rosenkranz,Diana Sammataro,Deborah R. Smith,Orlando Yañez,Peter J. Neumann +21 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the fight against the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor should be a priority for future honey bee health research and the lack of efficient control methods currently available against the parasite is highlighted.
