“…CSBV and SBV have similar genomes and sizes (26–30 nm in diameter), but they differ in their physiochemical characteristics, immunogenicity and pathogenicity in honeybees (Hu et al., ). CSBV belongs to the Picornavirales (order), Iflaviridae (family), and Iflavirus (genus) order, which represent a group of positive‐sense single‐stranded RNA viruses (Ahn et al., ; Hu et al., ; Reddy et al., ; Roy, Vidal‐Naquet, & Provost, ; Shan et al., ; Xia et al., ; Yoo et al., ). SBV infects mostly larvae, including adult bees, because the adult bees do not present disease symptoms and there is a failure of infection in pupae (Ahn et al., ; Choe, Nguyen, Hyun et al., ; Choe, Nguyen, Jin et al., ; Roy et al., ; Xia et al., ; Zhang et al., ).…”

“…CSBV has existed in Fujian Province for nearly 50 years, causing death in a single colony and eventually the collapse of entire the colony (Xia, Zhou, & Wei, 2015). A. c. cerana is more susceptible to CSBV, whereas A. mellifera is less susceptible (Shan et al, 2017;Zhang, Zhang, Huang, & Han, 2014). CSBV has created a severe outbreak in A. c. cerana in China (Antunez et al, 2012).…”

“…Meanwhile, in recent years, DWV, IAPV, and BQCV have also created a major problem in the beekeeping industry (Ward et al, 2007). China has more than 2 million A. c. cerana colonies, but recently, the number of colonies is declining because of the presence of bee viruses, along with some other threatening factors (Huang et al, 2017;Shan et al, 2017;Shi et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2012). The devastation of bees by viruses of the native honeybee (A. c. cerana), which are widely maintained in southern China, causes colony losses, and most of the studies focus on the European honeybee (Ai et al, 2012).…”

Prevalence of honeybee viral diseases has recently been causing major problems in the beekeeping industry, causing economic losses worldwide. Honeybees are susceptible to a variety of diseases and various pathogens. Among these pathogens, prevalence viruses, along with other factors, are seriously threatening the health of bee species. In the present study, samples were collected from 80 Apis cerana cerana (A. c. cerana) colonies from three different locations, Cangshan, Fuan, and Yongtai, in the Fujian Province of China. All samples were screened using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) method for detection of seven honeybee viruses, namely, Chinese sacbrood virus (CSBV), deformed wing virus (DWV), Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV), black queen cell virus (BQCV), chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV), acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), and Kashmir bee virus (KBV). Our results showed that CSBV was the most prevalent as it was detected in (90%), of the samples, DWV was detected in (81.25%), and IAPV was detected in (26.25%). In contrast, insignificant prevalence results were obtained from all apiaries for BQCV, CBPV, APBV, and KBV, which were not detected in any sample. Here, we are providing the first report on the molecular detection of honeybee viruses, especially the prevalence of IAPV, from different regions in the Fujian Province of China with a high prevalence of bee viruses, on A. c. cerana, and there is great concern for the presence of honeybee viruses in the population of the native honeybee (A. c. cerana) in China.

High resistance to Sacbrood virus disease in Apis cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae) colonies selected for superior brood viability and hygienic behavior

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sacbrood virus (SBV) caused significant colony collapse in Korean Apis cerana. Therefore, breeding of resistant bees to counter this viral disease is urgently needed. Considering that hygienic behavior in honey bees confers colony-level resistance against brood diseases, we utilized this trait for selecting A. cerana colonies. In addition, the brood survival rate was evaluated after colonies were SBV-inoculated. Over four selective generations, dead brood removal and brood survivorship in selected colonies were higher than those in the controls, which were not selectively bred for those traits (P < 0.01, 99.3 vs. 89.9% for removal of pin-killed pupae; P < 0.01, 99.0 vs. 63.9% for removal of SBV-killed larvae; and P < 0.01, 70.0 vs. 9.2% for brood survivorship). Following SBV inoculation, selected colonies showed an increase in the number of surviving pupae and adults, whereas control colonies collapsed mostly. Our results confirm the feasibility of selecting SBV-resistant A. cerana .
