abstract

acute bee paralysis virus (abpv) is a small single stranded rna virus recently classified within the family dicistroviridae, genus cripavirus. here, we describe the first study of abpv in unhealthy bee colonies, which has been an unusual loss in adult bee population and significant honey bee mortality during the year. the aim of this study was evaluation of abpv infection in honey bee colonies in apiaries with loss of population in different geographical provinces in iran. adult bee samples were collected between july - september 2011 and 2012 and were originated from 23 provinces with different geographic areas of iran. following the rt-pcr reaction with the specific primers on the isolated rna, an approximately 618 bp product was detected. we demonstrated the presence of abpv rna in 9 (5.62 %) out of 160 samples collected from iranian apiaries.

First molecular detection of Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus (CBPV) in Iran

  Among the viruses infecting honey bees, chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) is known to induce significant losses in honey bee colonies. CBPV is an unclassified polymorphic single stranded RNA virus. Using RT-PCR, the virus infections in honey bees can be detected in a rapid and accurate manner. Bee samples were collected from 23 provinces of Iran, between July-September 2011 and 2012. A tota...

Molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of chronic bee paralysis virus in Iran

Chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) is an unclassified polymorphic single-stranded RNA virus. Among the viruses infecting honeybees, CBPV is known to induce significant losses in honeybee colonies. In this study, a total number of eighty-nine suspected apiaries from four regions of Iran (including Mazandaran, Khorasan Razavi, Hormozgan, and Kurdistan) were sampled and submitted for molecular ide...

Serological and Molecular Detection of Akabane Virus in Iran

The present study was conducted on sixty healthy female domestic ruminants that suffered from still births or abortion, to find sero-positive cases and also to determine the probable role of uterine tissue in diagnosis of akabane viral infection and viral persistency. Because of this, a serological test (ELISA) and molecular (RT-PCR) diagnostic methods were used to find the seropositive cases a...
