Transmission of deformed wing virus (DWV) through imported semen
... importation removes the risk of parasitic mites, but pathogenic viruses are still a significant risk. DWV and slow bee paralysis virus (SBPV) are biosecurity threats that have not been detected in Australia and could be introduced via imported drone semen. The import policy requires virus testing to address...

Reducing the impact of Nosema and viruses by improving honeybee nutrition
.... To investigate the effects of pollen on virus infection I will use lab assays to provide adult bees with pollen and experimentally infected them with sacbrood virus, with the hypothesis that pollen fed bees will have reduced virus infections. 1. Demonstrate the effects of autumn nutrition on hive pathogen loads in late winter2. Determine the effects of pollen intake on virus replication in honeybees PRO_CLAQ...
