In the past centuries, viruses have benefited from globalization to spread across the globe,
infecting new host species and populations. A growing number of viruses have been …

Bees—including solitary, social, wild, and managed species—are key pollinators of
flowering plant species, including nearly three-quarters of global food crops. Their …

Numerous studies have recently reported on the discovery of bee viruses in different
arthropod species and their possible transmission routes, vastly increasing our …

The large genetic and structural divergences between plants and fungi may hinder the
transmission of viruses between these two kingdoms to some extent. However, recent …

Honey bee is vital for pollination and ecological services, boosting crops productivity in
terms of quality and quantity, and production of colony products: wax, royal jelly, bee venom …

The bumblebee Bombus terrestris is a beneficial pollinator extensively used in tomato
production. Our hypothesis was that bumblebee hives collected from a Tomato brown …

Pollen is a unique vehicle for viral spread. Pollen-associated viruses hitchhike on or within
pollen grains and are transported to other plants by pollinators. They are deposited on …

Honey bees are large-scale monitoring tools due to their extensive environmental
exploration. In their activities and from the hive ecosystem complex, they get in close contact …

Deformed wing virus (DWV) was first detected in dead honey bees in 1982 but has been in
honey bees for at least 300 years. Due to its high prevalence and virulence, they have been …

Social insects have the highest rates of meiotic recombination among Metazoa, but there is
considerable variation within the Hymenoptera. We synthesize the literature to investigate …
