DEFORMED WING VIRUS IN Apis mellifera L.: PREVALENCE, MORPHOLOGY, AND PATHOGENICITY (review)

Viral infections are not considered the most dangerous honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) diseases though being rather harmful. Virus-caused honeybee pathologies are mainly symptomless (N.J. Dimmock et al., 1987; A.C.F. Hung et al., 1996), nevertheless, a rapid replication of the viruses can be triggered leading to clinical manifestation and even death of the insects (R. Singh et al., 2010). In honeybee families a simultaneous circulation of several viruses can occur. Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), deformed wing virus (DWV) in Europe, and Kashmir bee virus (KBV), Israeli acute bee paralysis virus (IABPV) and DWV in the United States seem to be related to honeybee family collapse. This review summarizes the data about one of the most prevalent honeybee viruses, DWV (D. Tentcheva et al., 2004; O. Berènyi et al., 2006; S.L. Nielsen et al., 2008; S. Ruba et al., 2012).
