在蜂群衰竭失调症（CCD）中，蜜蜂群体莫名其妙地失去了他们的工人。CCD导致美国养蜂业损失了50%至90%的蜂群。从受影响的殖民地照射梳子可以重新填充幼稚蜜蜂的观察表明，感染可能有助于CCD。我们采用无偏的宏基因组学方法调查CCD蜂箱、正常蜂箱和进口皇家浆中的微生物区系。通过检查3年内从多个地点收集的样本，筛选候选病原体与CCD的关联性。一种生物，以色列蜜蜂急性麻痹病毒，与CCD密切相关。
In colony collapse disorder (CCD), honey bee colonies inexplicably lose their workers. CCD has resulted in a loss of 50 to 90% of colonies in beekeeping operations across the United States. The observation that irradiated combs from affected colonies can be repopulated with naive bees suggests that infection may contribute to CCD. We used an unbiased metagenomic approach to survey microflora in CCD hives, normal hives, and imported royal jelly. Candidate pathogens were screened for significance of association with CCD by the examination of samples collected from several sites over a period of 3 years. One organism, Israeli acute paralysis virus of bees, was strongly correlated with CCD.
