Q

type 1 paralysis symptoms of CPV

A

aka isle of wight disease

trembling motion of wings and body

bloated abdomens

dysentery

22
Q

type 2 paralysis symptoms of CPV

A

black robbers or little blacks

guard bees prevent their return to colony like robber bees

23
Q

what are the symptoms of israeli acute paralysis virus

A

bees wings shiver

causing paralysis

found dead outside hives

24
Q

what is israeli acute paralysis the best indicator of

A

colony collapse 96.1% correlation

25
Q

which bees are seemingly unaffected by the sacbrood virus

A

drones are seemingly unaffected

26
Q

which bees are most susceptible to SBV

A

larvae of about 2 days old but older are most susceptible

27
Q

symptoms of SBV

A

larva lay along the base of the cell in a banana or gondola shape

28
Q

why do larvae die in SBV

A

unable to shed their last larval skin and fail to pupate due to fluid accumulation

29
Q

colour change of larvae affected with SBV

A

from pearly white to pale yellow then darkens around head and thoracic region when the larvae die

30
Q

infected bees with SBV

A

will fly and forage much earlier in life than usual but fail to collect pollen as the hypopharyngeal glands degenerate

31
Q

what bees does the deformed wing virus affect

A

workers as well as in brood

32
Q

vector if deformed wing virus

A

varroa destructor

33
Q

symptoms of DWV

A

deformed or poorly developed shrunken wings, decreased body size and discolouration in adult bees

34
Q

which bees does the cloudy wing virus affect

A

mainly in workers

35
Q

symptoms of cloudy wing virus

A

marked loos of transparency of the wings

36
Q

which bees does the kashmir bee virus affect

A

mainly workers and larvar

37
Q

mortality of KBV

A

within 3 days

38
Q

symptoms of KBV

A

resembling an infection with american foulbrood or european foulbrood

39
Q

which bees does the black queen cell virus affect

A

adult bees

praepupae

40
Q

what is the BQCV associated with

A

nosema sp.

41
Q

symptoms of the BQCV

A

dark brown or black queen cells containing dead pupae or prepupae

42
Q

the only DNA virus we know

A

filamentous

43
Q

symptoms of filamentous virus

A

haemolymph becomes milky white

44
Q

characteristics pf chronic bee paralysis associate

A

satellite of CBPV - not unrelated serologically

more evident in queens than in workers

45
Q

bee virus X characteristics

A

related to virus Y

occurs in adults

special association to malphighamoeba mellificae

46
Q

slow paralysis virus characteristics

A

paralysis of the anterior two pairs of legs for a day or two before death

47
Q

apis iridescent virus characteristics

A

multiplies in fat body alimentary tract hypopharyngeal glands and ovaries
only found in north india and kashmir

48
Q

characteristics of arkansas bee virus

A

individuals die after about day 14 but shoe no sign of disease
only found in US

49
Q

how do you diagnose viral infections

A

pcr

50
Q

Treatment of viral infections

A

no known

51
Q

control of viral infections

A

regular brood comb replacements

regular queen bee replacements

not breeding from stock demonstrating any signs

minimizing nutritional stress

minimise levels of nosema/ varroa
