在巴西的10个非洲化蜜蜂群体中发现了前无帽工蜂育雏细胞，可能是卫生行为的初始阶段。在360个这样的细胞中，46%含有瓦螨。平均12%的正常，加盖，工蜂育雏细胞在相同的殖民地被侵染。在18%的无盖细胞有粪便的幼虫大蜡蛾（大蜡蛾），但没有螨的迹象。剩下的细胞没有任何迹象，或者任何其他可能引起蜜蜂打开细胞帽的异常。白色身体的脓疱，眼睛色素沉着，是最常见的相位肥大，占总数的53%。在过早揭盖的细胞中，感染率高出近四倍，表明蜜蜂选择性地揭盖被瓦螨侵染的细胞。(C)Inra/DIB/AGIB/Elsevier，巴黎。
Prematurely uncapped worker brood cells, possibly an initial phase of hygienic behavior, were found in ten Africanized honey bee colonies in Brazil. Among 360 such cells, 46% contained the mite Varroa jacobsoni. A mean of 12% of the normal, capped, worker brood cells were infested in the same colonies. In 18% of the uncapped cells there were feces of larvae of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella), but no indication of mites. The remaining cells had no signs of either, or of any other abnormality that might have provoked the bees to uncap the cells. White-bodied pupae, with lightly pigmented eyes were the phase mast frequently found to be uncapped, and represented 53% of the total. The nearly four times higher infestation rate in prematurely uncapped cells shows that the bees selectively uncap cells infested with Varroa jacobsoni. (C) Inra/DIB/AGIB/Elsevier, Paris.
