This study investigates how DWV spreads among honey bees through social behaviors and vector interactions, showing host-to-host and host-to-vector transmission can sustain the pathogen in a population.

This study shows that Varroa destructor mites vector Deformed wing virus (DWV) with varying efficiency depending on their phoretic stage and the DWV type they transmit, with DWV-B reducing mite lifespan.

This study shows Varroa destructor spreads viruses by switching hosts during feeding, increasing its vectorial capacity through promiscuous behavior.

The paper shows that worker honey bees cannibalizing DWV-infected pupae transmit the virus to other bees through trophallaxis, spreading DWV without Varroa mites.

This study shows that sublethal pesticide exposure in honeybee colonies reduces brood viability and queen longevity, with fungicides causing greater harm than insecticides.
