在世界上许多有管理的地区，蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）一直受到疾病、害虫和寄生虫的困扰。其中，寄生螨，瓦螨破坏者安德森和杜鲁门（蜱螨：瓦螨科），被许多人认为是最具破坏性的。2009年初，我们首次在肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚的蜂群中发现了这种螨虫。接受调查的养蜂人既没有意识到螨虫的存在，也没有观察到对蜜蜂的生存和/或生产力有任何负面影响。
In many areas of the world where it is managed, the honeybee, Apis mellifera, has been plagued by diseases, pests and parasites. Of these, the parasitic mite, Varroa destructor Anderson and Truman (Acari: Varroidae), is considered by many as the most devastating. We found this mite in honeybee colonies throughout Kenya and in Tanzania for the first time in early 2009. Beekeepers surveyed were neither aware of the mite’s presence nor had they observed any negative impact on the survival and/or productivity of their bees.
