| dc.description.abstract | Newly hatched bees with damaged wings, bees crawling in front of the hive and unusually severe mortality of adult bees were observed in Africanized bee colonies in Costa Rica. A large proportion of the adult bee population in most of these colonies was infested with Varroa destructor. Samples of adult bees were sent to the Department of Entomology at Pennsylvania State University for viral analysis. This analysis showed the presence of deformed wing virus and Kashmir bee virus. The occurrence of adult bee mortality and the detection of these viruses in Africanized colonies in Costa Rica infested with V. destructor should be considered cause for concern. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Se observaron abejas recién nacidas con alas dañadas, abejas arrastrándose frente a la colmena y una mortalidad inusualmente severa de abejas adultas en colonias de abejas africanizadas de Costa Rica. Una gran proporción de la población de abejas adultas en la mayoría de estas colonias estaba infestada con Varroa destructor. Se enviaron muestras de abejas adultas al Departamento de Entomología de la Universidad Estatal de Pensilvania para su análisis viral. Este análisis mostró la presencia del virus de las alas deformadas y del virus de la abeja de Cachemira. La ocurrencia de mortalidad de abejas adultas y la detección de estos virus en colonias africanizadas de Costa Rica infestadas con V. destructor deben considerarse motivo de preocupación. | |
