Ugandan honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) produce honey, and are key pollinators within commercial crops and natural ecosystems. Real-time RT-PCR was used to screen immature and adult bees collected from 63 beekeeping sites across Uganda for seven viral pathogens. No samples tested positive for Chronic bee paralysis virus, Sacbrood virus, Deformed wing virus, Acute bee paralysis virus, Apis iridescent virus or Israeli acute paralysis virus. However, Black queen cell virus (BQCV) was found in 35.6% of samples. It occurred in adults and larvae, and was most prevalent in the Western highlands, accounting for over 40% of positive results nationally.
乌干达蜜蜂（Apis mellifera L.）产蜜，是商业作物和自然生态系统中重要的传粉媒介。本研究采用实时 RT-PCR 方法，对从乌干达 63 个养蜂场采集的未成熟和成年蜜蜂进行了七种病毒病原体筛查。未发现慢性麻痹病毒、 sacbrood 病毒、变形病毒、急性麻痹病毒、 Apis 虹彩病毒或以色列急性麻痹病毒。然而，黑蜂王细胞病毒（BQCV）在 35.6%的样本中被发现。它存在于成虫和幼虫中，在西部高地最为普遍，占全国阳性结果的 40%以上。
