Molecular Prevalence of Acarapis Mite Infestations in Honey Bees in Korea
Acarapis mites, including Acarapis woodi, Acarapis externus, and Acarapis dorsalis, are parasites of bees which can cause severe damage to the bee industry by destroying colonies and decreasing honey production. All 3 species are prevalent throughout many countries including UK, USA, Iran, Turkey, China, and Japan. Based on previous reports of Acarapis mites occurring in northeast Asia, includi...
متن کاملParasitic mites of honey bees: life history, implications, and impact.
The hive of the honey bee is a suitable habitat for diverse mites (Acari), including nonparasitic, omnivorous, and pollen-feeding species, and parasites. The biology and damage of the three main pest species Acarapis woodi, Varroa jacobsoni, and Tropilaelaps clareae is reviewed, along with detection and control methods. The hypothesis that Acarapis woodi is a recently evolved species is rejecte...
متن کاملRussian honey bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) colonies: Acarapis woodi (Acari: Tarsonemidae) infestations and overwintering survival.
Honey bee, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), colonies infested by parasitic mites are more prone to suffer from a variety of stresses, including cold temperature. We evaluated the overwintering ability of candidate breeder lines of Russian honey bees, most of which are resistant to both Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman and Acarapis woodi (Rennie), during 1999-2001. Our results indica...
متن کاملASPECTS OF THE HISTORY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE BEE MITES Tropilaelaps clareae AND T. koenigerum
The paper deals with aspects of the two known brood parasites of honey bees from Asia, namely the tropical bee mites Tropilaelaps clareae Delfinado et Baker and Tropilaelaps koenigerum Delfinado-Baker et Baker. These species of Tropilaelaps belong to the family Laelapidae (Mesostigmata). They feed on bee larvae and pupae causing brood malformation and the death of bees. T. clareae occurs on 5 s...
متن کاملMolecular and phylogenetic characterization of honey bee viruses, Nosema microsporidia, protozoan parasites, and parasitic mites in China
China has the largest number of managed honey bee colonies, which produce the highest quantity of honey and royal jelly in the world; however, the presence of honey bee pathogens and parasites has never been rigorously identified in Chinese apiaries. We thus conducted a molecular survey of honey bee RNA viruses, Nosema microsporidia, protozoan parasites, and tracheal mites associated with nonna...
