At least 18 viruses have been reported in the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.). However, severe diseases in honey bees are mainly caused by six viruses, and these are the most important in beekeeping. These viruses include: deformed wing virus (DWV), acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV), sacbrood virus (SBV), kashmir bee virus (KBV), and black queen cell virus (BQCV). In this study, we evaluated 89 Iranian honey bee apiaries (during the period 2015-2016) suffering from symptoms of depopulation, sudden collapse, paralysis, or dark coloring, by employing reverse transcription-PCR. Samples were collected from four regions (Mazandaran, Hormozgan, Kurdistan, and Khorasan Razavi) of Iran. Of the 89 apiaries examined, 16 (17.97%), three (3.37%), and three (3.37%) were infected by DWV, ABPV, and CBPV, respectively. The study results for the other viruses (SBV, KBV, and BQCV) were negative. The present study evaluated the presence of the six most important honey bee viruses in bee colonies with suspected infections, and identified remarkable differences in the distribution patterns of the viruses in different geographic regions of Iran.
据报道，蜜蜂（西方蜜蜂）中至少存在18种病毒。然而，蜜蜂的严重疾病主要由六种病毒引起，这些病毒在养蜂业中最为重要。这些病毒包括：残翅病毒（DWV）、急性蜜蜂麻痹病毒（ABPV）、慢性蜜蜂麻痹病毒（CBPV）、囊状幼虫病毒（SBV）、克什米尔蜜蜂病毒（KBV）和黑蜂王台病毒（BQCV）。在本研究中，我们在2015 - 2016年期间，通过逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）对89个出现种群减少、突然崩溃、麻痹或体色变黑症状的伊朗蜜蜂蜂场进行了评估。样本取自伊朗的四个地区（马赞德兰、霍尔木兹甘、库尔德斯坦和呼罗珊拉扎维）。在检查的89个蜂场中，分别有16个（17.97%）、3个（3.37%）和3个（3.37%）感染了DWV、ABPV和CBPV。其他病毒（SBV、KBV和BQCV）的研究结果为阴性。本研究评估了疑似感染蜂群中六种最重要的蜜蜂病毒的存在情况，并确定了这些病毒在伊朗不同地理区域的分布模式存在显著差异。
