Huang Q, Han W, Posada-Florez F, Evans J
Front Microbiol . 2024 Jun; 15:1387248. PMID: 38881661
Invasive pests may disturb and destructively reformat the local ecosystem. The small hive beetle (SHB), , originated in Africa and has expanded to America, Australia, Europe, and Asia. A key...

Front Insect Sci . 2024 Mar; 3:1216291. PMID: 38469475
Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a widespread pathogen of honey bees, and is considered a major causative factor for the collapse of infected honey bee colonies. DWV can be horizontally...

Ryabov E, Posada-Florez F, Rogers C, Lamas Z, Evans J, Chen Y, et al.
Front Insect Sci . 2024 Mar; 2:931352. PMID: 38468796
The ectoparasitic mite, and the viruses it vectors, including types A and B of Deformed wing virus (DWV), pose a major threat to honey bees, . Analysis of 256 mites...

Huang Q, Sim S, Geib S, Childers A, Liu J, Wei X, et al.
Gigascience . 2023 Jul; 12. PMID: 37489752
Background: The small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida, has emerged as a worldwide threat to honey bees in the past two decades. These beetles harvest nest resources, feed on larval...

Posada-Florez F, Lamas Z, Hawthorne D, Chen Y, Evans J, Ryabov E
Sci Rep . 2021 Apr; 11(1):8989. PMID: 33903723
Transmission routes impact pathogen virulence and genetics, therefore comprehensive knowledge of these routes and their contribution to pathogen circulation is essential for understanding host-pathogen interactions and designing control strategies. Deformed...

Posada-Florez F, Ryabov E, Heerman M, Chen Y, Evans J, Sonenshine D, et al.
PLoS One . 2020 Nov; 15(11):e0242688. PMID: 33232341
The ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor is one of the most destructive pests of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) and the primary biotic cause of colony collapse in many regions of...

Ryabov E, Christmon K, Heerman M, Posada-Florez F, Harrison R, Chen Y, et al.
Viruses . 2020 Apr; 12(4). PMID: 32231059
We developed a honey bee RNA-virus vector based on the genome of a picorna-like Deformed wing virus (DWV), the main viral pathogen of the honey bee (). To test the...

Ryabov E, Childers A, Lopez D, Grubbs K, Posada-Florez F, Weaver D, et al.
PLoS Biol . 2019 Oct; 17(10):e3000502. PMID: 31600204
The impacts of invertebrate RNA virus population dynamics on virulence and infection outcomes are poorly understood. Deformed wing virus (DWV), the main viral pathogen of honey bees, negatively impacts bee...

Li A, Cook S, Sonenshine D, Posada-Florez F, Noble N, Mowery J, et al.
J Insect Physiol . 2019 Sep; 119:103950. PMID: 31562841
Feeding behaviors and biomechanics of female Varroa destructor mites are revealed from AC-DC electropenetrography (EPG) recordings of mites feeding from Apis mellifera honey bee pupae and histology of mite internal...

Sci Rep . 2019 Aug; 9(1):12445. PMID: 31455863
Honey bees, the primary managed insect pollinator, suffer considerable losses due to Deformed wing virus (DWV), an RNA virus vectored by the mite Varroa destructor. Mite vectoring has resulted in...
