Abstract excerpt
Mites in the genus Varroa are the primary parasites of honey bees on several continents. Genetic analyses based on Varroa mitochondrial DNA have played a central role in establishing Varroa taxonomy and dispersal. Here we present the complete mitochondrial sequence of the important honey bee pest Varroa destructor. This species has a relatively compact mitochondrial genome (15,218 bp). The order of genes encoding...
