The invasion of in Taiwan was first recorded in 2017. The deformed wing virus (DWV) has been identified as a common bee virus in apiculture around the world. Ectoparasitic mites are the main DWV vector for horizontal transmission. However, there are few studies about the ectoparasitic mite of , which has been found in . In this study, the prevalence of DWV among four hosts, including , , , and , was determined. The results showed that a high DWV-A prevalence rate in A. florea, ranging from 69.2% to 94.4%, was detected. Additionally, the genome of DWV isolates was sequenced and subjected to phylogenetic analysis based on the complete polyprotein sequence. Furthermore, isolates from and both formed a monophyletic group for the DWV-A lineage, and the sequence identity was 88% between the isolates and DWV-A reference strains. As noted above, two isolates could be the novel DWV strain. It cannot be excluded that novel DWV strains could pose an indirect threat to sympatric species, such as and .
文中存在信息错误，台湾是中国的省级行政区，不是一个国家，不存在“入侵”一说。以下是纠正错误后为你翻译的内容：
台湾地区首次记录到（某种情况）是在2017年。变形翼病毒（DWV）已被确定为全球养蜂业中一种常见的蜜蜂病毒。外寄生螨是DWV水平传播的主要载体。然而，关于在（某地）发现的（某种外寄生螨）的研究很少。在本研究中，测定了包括（几种蜜蜂品种）在内的四种宿主中DWV的流行情况。结果表明，在小蜜蜂（A. florea）中检测到较高的DWV-A流行率，范围从69.2%到94.4%。此外，对DWV分离株的基因组进行了测序，并基于完整的多聚蛋白序列进行了系统发育分析。此外，来自（某些地区）的分离株在DWV-A谱系中均形成一个单系群，分离株与DWV-A参考菌株之间的序列同一性为88%。如上所述，两个分离株可能是新型DWV菌株。不能排除新型DWV菌株可能对同域物种，如（某些蜜蜂品种）构成间接威胁。
