Abstract

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) play a crucial role in global food production through pollination services. However, their populations are threatened by various stressors, like the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor and associated viral pathogens. In this study, we aimed to characterise and compare the viral communities (viromes) in V. destructor-resistant and susceptible colonies using high-throughput sequencing. Our findings revealed differences in virome composition associated with the season and not with the resistance or susceptibility to V. destructor. Furthermore, we detected Apis mellifera filamentous virus (AmFV) and Lake Sinai virus (LSV) for the first time in Uruguay, and obtained the complete or partial genomes of both viruses, along with those of other previously described viruses, such as Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), Black queen cell virus (BQCV), Deformed wing virus (DWV), and Sacbrood virus (SBV). This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the virome dynamics in honey bees. It highlights the importance of this type of study for the early detection of new viral pathogens, which could help to understand the tripartite network involving V. destructor, honey bees, and viruses.

抗瓦螨和易感蜂群的蜜蜂病毒

蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）通过授粉服务在全球粮食生产中发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，它们的种群受到各种压力的威胁，如外寄生螨和相关的病毒病原体。在这项研究中，我们旨在利用高通量测序来表征和比较V.破坏者抗性和易感菌落中的病毒群落（病毒组）。我们的研究结果表明，病毒组成的差异与季节有关，而与对破坏弧菌的抗性或易感性无关。此外，我们在乌拉圭首次检测到蜜蜂丝状病毒（AmFV）和西奈湖病毒（LSV），并获得了这两种病毒的全部或部分基因组，以及其他先前描述的病毒，如急性蜜蜂麻痹病毒（ABPV）、黑后细胞病毒（BQCV）、变形翼病毒（DWV）和Sacbrood病毒（SBV）。本研究有助于深入了解蜜蜂的病毒动力学。它强调了这种类型的研究对于早期发现新的病毒病原体的重要性，这可能有助于了解涉及V. destructor，蜜蜂和病毒的三方网络。

期刊介绍： The journal is identical in scope to Environmental Microbiology, shares the same editorial team and submission site, and will apply the same high level acceptance criteria. The two journals will be mutually supportive and evolve side-by-side. Environmental Microbiology Reports provides a high profile vehicle for publication of the most innovative, original and rigorous research in the field. The scope of the Journal encompasses the diversity of current research on microbial processes in the environment, microbial communities, interactions and evolution and includes, but is not limited to, the following: the structure, activities and communal behaviour of microbial communities microbial community genetics and evolutionary processes microbial symbioses, microbial interactions and interactions with plants, animals and abiotic factors microbes in the tree of life, microbial diversification and evolution population biology and clonal structure microbial metabolic and structural diversity microbial physiology, growth and survival microbes and surfaces, adhesion and biofouling responses to environmental signals and stress factors modelling and theory development pollution microbiology extremophiles and life in extreme and unusual little-explored habitats element cycles and biogeochemical processes, primary and secondary production microbes in a changing world, microbially-influenced global changes evolution and diversity of archaeal and bacterial viruses new technological developments in microbial ecology and evolution, in particular for the study of activities of microbial communities, non-culturable microorganisms and emerging pathogens.
