本文首次报道了亚洲蜜蜂（Apis cerana）对全球养蜂业中严重危害欧洲蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）的外寄生螨（Varroa jacobsoni）的行为和生理抗性机制。螨虫的寄生诱导亚洲工蜂进行一系列清洁行为，有效地将螨虫从成年寄主蜂的身体上清除。螨虫随后在几秒钟到几分钟内被杀死并从蜂箱中取出。梳理行为包括自我清洁、梳理舞蹈、巢内清洁和群体清洁。工蜂还能迅速有效地将螨虫从幼虫中清除出去。欧洲蜜蜂表现出较低频率的清洁行为，并且通常不能清除成蜂和幼蜂身上的螨虫。
A behavioral and physiological resistance mechanism of the Asian honey bee (Apis cerana) to an ectoparasitic mite, Varroa jacobsoni, which causes severe damage to the European honey bee (Apis mellifera) in the beekeeping industry worldwide, is reported here for the first time. Parasitism by the mite induced Asian worker bees to perform a series of cleaning behaviors that effectively removed the mites from the bodies of the adult host bees. The mites were subsequently killed and removed from the bee hives in a few seconds to a few minutes. The grooming behavior consists of self-cleaning, grooming dance, nestmate cleaning, and group cleaning. Worker bees can also rapidly and effectively remove the mites from the brood. The European bee showed cleaning behavior at low frequency and generally failed to remove the mites from both the adult bees and the brood.
