Varroa destructor is the primary biological threat to domesticated honey bee colonies in much of the world, impacting host fitness both directly and by transmitting RNA viruses. Genomic, proteomic, and functional-genetic resources provide a framework for Varroa biology. When coupled with physiological analyses of development, host finding, and reproduction, these resources reveal general traits of arthropods and offer new strategies for mite control. Efforts to develop novel controls are focused on efficacy, efficient delivery, and the avoidance of both host impacts and the swift evolution of resistance by mites.
瓦螨是世界上大多数地区家养蜜蜂群体的主要生物威胁，它直接影响宿主的健康，也通过传播 RNA 病毒来影响宿主的健康。基因组学、蛋白质组学和功能遗传学资源为瓦螨生物学提供了一个框架。当与对发育、宿主寻找和繁殖的生理分析相结合时，这些资源揭示了节肢动物的一般特征，并为螨类控制提供了新的策略。开发新型控制措施的重点是功效、高效传递以及避免对宿主的影响和螨类迅速产生抗药性。
