Abstract excerpt
Apis mellifera filamentous virus (AmFV) is a large filamentous virus with a ~500 kb double-stranded DNA genome identified in honeybees and a handful of other winged insects. Since its first identification almost 50 years ago, only a few nearly complete AmFV genomes have been sequenced. Genomic regions of AmFV have been identified using gene-specific primers as part of the viral screening surveys for honeybee...
