First come, first served: Superinfection exclusion in Deformed wing virus is dependent upon sequence identity and not the order of virus acquisition
2021-03-22
Abstract excerpt
Deformed wing virus (DWV) is the most important globally distributed pathogen of honey bees and, when vectored by the ectoparasite Varroa destructor , is associated with high levels of colony losses. Divergent DWV types may differ in their pathogenicity and are reported to exhibit superinfection exclusion upon sequential infections, an inevitability in a Varroa -infested colony. We used a reverse genetic approac...
