Honey Bee Infecting Lake Sinai Viruses

Abstract: Honey bees are critical pollinators of important agricultural crops. Recently, high annual losses of honey bee colonies have prompted further investigation of honey bee infecting viruses. To better characterize the recently discovered and very prevalent Lake Sinai virus (LSV) group, we sequenced currently circulating LSVs, performed phylogenetic analysis, and obtained images of LSV2. Sequence analysis resulted in extension of the LSV1 and LSV2 genomes, the first detection of LSV4 in the US, and the discovery o… Show more

“…This is particularly notable in the context of potential strain variation in viral species. Previous work has shown spread of specific viral strains between honey bees and bumble bees [18, 28], and it is well-known that different strain variants exist for multiple honey bee viruses [45, 46]. Here, we used a detection method optimized for virus strains commonly found in honey bees; it is possible, however, that other strains exist in wild bee species that would be less likely to be detected, and that could have different virulence.…”

“…Colony losses are attributed to numerous biotic and abiotic stressors, including inadequate nutrition, the Varroa destructor mite, and pathogens [12,13]. There are numerous viruses that infect honey bees and the prevalence and abundance of several of them, including deformed wing virus, have been associated with colony losses globally [10,11,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

“…Positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses comprise the largest group of known honey bee pathogens (reviewed in [27,28]). These include members of Iflaviridae (i.e., deformed wing virus, sacbrood virus, and slow bee paralysis virus), Dicistroviridae (i.e., black queen cell virus, Israeli acute paralysis virus, acute bee paralysis virus, and Kashmir bee virus), chronic bee paralysis virus [29], and Lake Sinai viruses [15,30,31], as well as a growing list of other viruses and virus families (reviewed in [27,28,32]). Viruses are transmitted vertically from parents to offspring and horizontally between bees within the crowded environment of the colony via contact and trophallaxis (mouth to mouth food transfer), as well as via contact with contaminated floral resources while foraging [33,34] (reviewed in [28,35]).…”

“…The largest class of honey bee infecting pathogens are positive-sense single stranded RNA viruses including: Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), Black queen cell virus (BQCV), Israeli acute bee paralysis virus (IAPV), Kashmir bee virus (KBV), Deformed wing virus (DWV), Kakugo virus (KV), Varroa destructor virus-1 (VDV-1), Sacbrood virus (SBV), Slow bee paralysis virus (SBPV), Cloudy wing virus (CWV), Big Sioux River virus (BSRV), Aphid lethal paralysis virus (strain Brookings) (ALPV), Chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) (reviewed in [15,17,28]), the Lake Sinai viruses (LSV) [21], and Bee macula-like virus (BeeMLV) [30]. In addition, one double-stranded DNA virus, Apis mellifera filamentous virus (AmFv) has been isolated from honey bees [31].…”
