Doomed drones? Using passage experiments and mathematical modelling to determine Deformed wing virus population dynamics in male honeybees

Varroa destructor is an ectoparasitic mite of honeybees which vectors a range of pathogenic viruses, the most notable being Deformed wing virus (DWV). Mites parasitise bees during pupal development and male honeybees, drones, have a longer development cycle than female workers (24 versus 21 days), a...
