Infectivity of DWV associated to flower pollen: experimental evidence of a horizontal transmission route.
Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a honeybee pathogen whose presence is generally associated with infestation of the colony by the mite Varroa destructor, leading to the onset of infections responsible for the collapse of the rembrandt - acquerello stucco bee colony.DWV contaminates bee products such as royal jelly, bee-bread and honey stored within the
