Abstract

Bees are the major pollinators in natural ecosystems and in the agricultural production of several crops used for human consumption. However, they are exposed to multiple stressors that are causing a serious decline in their population. We highlight a major one among them, the Varroa destructor mite (Varroa) that causes severe impacts on the health of honey bee colonies, transmitting a variety of viruses that can affect the survival ability of individual bees and entire colonies. Diagnosis and mite control methods have been intensively studied in recent decades, with many studies in different areas of knowledge having been conducted. This overview summarizes these studies with a focus on colony defense systems, biological characteristics of the parasite Varroa, diagnostic methods used to establish the infestation level of colonies, and currently used control methods.

Özet

Arılar, doğal ekosistemlerde ve insan tüketimi için kullanılan çeşitli mahsullerin tarımsal üretiminde başlıca tozlayıcılardır. Bununla birlikte, popülasyonlarında ciddi bir düşüşe neden olan çoklu stres faktörlerine maruz kalırlar. Bal arısı kolonilerinin sağlığı üzerinde ciddi etkilere neden olan ve tek tek arıların ve tüm kolonilerin hayatta kalma kabiliyetini etkileyebilecek çeşitli virüsler bulaştıran Varroa destructor akarı (Varroa) üzerinde duruyoruz. Teşhis ve akar kontrol yöntemleri, son yıllarda yoğun bir şekilde araştırılmış ve farklı bilgi alanlarında birçok çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu derleme, koloni savunma sistemlerine, parazit Varroa'nın biyolojik özelliklerine, kolonilerin istila düzeyini belirlemek için kullanılan tanı yöntemlerine ve şu anda kullanılan kontrol yöntemlerine odaklanarak bu çalışmaları özetlemektedir.
