Occurrence of six honeybee viruses in diseased Austrian Apiaries
Article Abstract:
The occurrence, prevalence, and distribution patterns of acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), black queen cell virus (BQCV), chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV), deformed wing virus (DWV), Kashmir bee virus (KBV), and sacbrood virus (SBV) were investigated in 90 Austrian honeybee colonies suffering from symptoms of depopulation, sudden collapse, paralysis, or dark coloring. The most prevalent virus was DWV (91%) followed by ABPV (68%), SBV (49%), BQCV (30%), and CBPV (10%) whereas KBV was not present in any samples.

Development and evaluation of PCR assays for the detection of Paenibacillus larvae in honey samples: comparison with isolation and biochemical characterization
Article Abstract:
Results point out that compared to the isolation and biochemical identification method, polymerase chain reaction is a technique that is suitable for large-scale screening of honey samples by virtue of its rapidity and moderate costs. Data indicate that the latter method detects Paenibacillus larvae contamination in 18 out of 23 samples.

Phylogenetic analysis of deformed wing virus genotypes from diverse geographic origins indicates recent global distribution of the virus
Article Abstract:
A phylogenetic analysis of the deformed wing virus (DWV) genotypes obtained from diverse geographic origins, including ten different countries is presented. The analysis reveals that the samples of the phylogenetic tress do not show any significant clustering due to a high level of sequence conservation.
