  • First detection of viruses in Africanized honey bees from Peru 
    Yanez, Orlando; Tejada, G.; Neumann, Peter (Springer, 2014)
    No abstract available.
  • Neonicotinoid pesticides severely affect honey bee queens 
    Williams, Geoffrey R.; Troxler, Aline; Retsching, Gina; Roth, Kaspar; Yanez, Orlando; Shutler, Dave; Neumann, Peter; Gauthier, Laurent (Nature Publishing Group, 2015-10-13)
    Queen health is crucial to colony survival of social bees. Recently, queen failure has been proposed to be a major driver of managed honey bee colony losses, yet few data exist concerning effects of environmental stressors ...
  • Potential for virus transfer between the honey bees Apis mellifera and A. cerana 
    Yanez, Orlando; Zheng, Huo-Qing; Su, Xiao-Ling; Hu, Fu-Liang; Neumann, Peter; Dietemann, Vincent (Taylor and Francis, 2015)
    Viruses seem to play a key role in European honey bee, Apis mellifera health, and have a much broader host spectrum than previously thought. Few studies have investigated interspecific virus transfer within the genus Apis. ...
  • A scientific note on Israeli acute paralysis virus infection of Eastern honeybee Apis cerana and vespine predator Vespa velutina 
    Yanez, Orlando; Zheng, Huo-Qing; Hu, Fu-Liang; Neumann, Peter; Dietemann, Vincent (Springer, 2012-09)
    The Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV, Maori et al., 2007; de Miranda et al., 2010) is widespread in Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) for whom it can be a marker of colony losses (Cox-Foster et al., 2007). It has ...
  • Sex-specific differences in pathogen susceptibility in honey bees (Apis mellifera) 
    Retschnig, Gina; Williams, Geoffrey R.; Mehmann, Marion M.; Yanez, Orlando; De Miranda, Joachim R.; Neumann, Peter (Public Library of Science, 2014-01-17)
    Sex-related differences in susceptibility to pathogens are a common phenomenon in animals. In the eusocial Hymenoptera the two female castes, workers and queens, are diploid and males are haploid. The haploid susceptibility ...
  • Varroa destructor : research avenues towards sustainable control 
    Dietemann, Vincent; Pflugfelder, Jochen; Anderson, Denis; Charriere, Jean-Daniel; Chejanovsky, Nor; Dainat, Benjamin; De Miranda, Joachim R.; Delaplane, Keith; Dillier, Franz-Xaver; Fuch, Stefan; Gallmann, Peter; Gauthier, Laurent; Imdorf, Anton; Koeniger, Nikolaus; Kralj, Jasna; Meikle, William; Pettis, Jeff; Rosenkranz, Peter; Sammataro, Diana; Smith, Deborah; Yanez, Orlando; Neumann, Peter (International Bee Research Association, 2012)
    Pollination by honey bees plays a key role in the functioning of ecosystems and optimisation of agricultural yields. Severe honey bee colony losses worldwide have raised concerns about the sustainability of these pollination ...
