DOI: 10.1002/ps.5821
Abstract: BACKGROUND Varroa destructor is considered a major cause of honeybee (Apis mellifera) colony losses worldwide. Although V. destructor mites exhibit preference behavior for certain honeybee lifecycle stages, the mechanism underlying host finding and preference remains… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.6617
Abstract: BACKGROUND Varroa destructor is among the greatest threats to honey bee health worldwide. Acaricides used to control Varroa are becoming increasingly ineffective due to resistance issues, prompting the need for new compounds that can be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.6788
Abstract: Abstract BACKGROUND The Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) is an ectoparasite that can affect the health of honey bees (Apis mellifera) and contributes to the loss of colony productivity. The limited availability of Varroacides with different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.7461
Abstract: BACKGROUND The parasitic mite, Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman), is a leading cause of honey bee colony losses around the world. Application of miticides such as amitraz are often the primary method of Varroa control… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ibmb.2017.06.002
Abstract: Extensive annual losses of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera L.) reported in the northern hemisphere represent a global problem for agriculture and biodiversity. The parasitic mite Varroa destructor, in association with deformed wing virus (DWV),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-45764-1
Abstract: Honeybee workers undergo metamorphosis in capped cells for approximately 13 days before adult emergence. During the same period, Varroa mites prick the defenseless host many times. We sought to identify proteome differences between emerging Varroa-parasitized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-92604-2
Abstract: Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), as they occur in insects, form a distinct class of proteins that apparently has no closely related representatives in other animals. However, ticks, mites, spiders and millipedes contain genes encoding proteins with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jisesa/ieab101
Abstract: Abstract Varroa destructor (Mesostigmata: Varroidae) is arguably the most damaging parasitic mite that attacks honey bees worldwide. Since its initial host switch from the Asian honey bee (Apis cerana) (Hymenoptera: Apidae) to the Western honey… read more here.
