Accumulation and Competition Amongst Deformed Wing Virus Genotypes in Naïve Australian Honeybees Provides Insight Into the Increasing Global Prevalence of Genotype B

Honeybee colony deaths are often attributed to the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor and deformed wing virus (DWV), vectored by the mite. In the presence of V. destructor both main genotypes (DWV-A and DWV-B) have been correlated with colony loss. Studies show that DWV-B is the most prevalent gen...
