A diagnostic genetic test for the honey bee tracheal mite, Acarapis woodi

2007-01-01

Abstract excerpt

This paper describes a diagnostic genetic test for tracheal mites, based on the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene. This test uses highly sensitive PCR along with specific oligonucleotide primers, to accurately identify these mites from intact and dissected bees. The test is specific and sensitive, at par with expert dissections of honey bee tracheae. Further description is given on a nested-PCR approach that...
