| Descripción: | The ectoparasitic mite Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans has become a scourge of commercial apiculture. It has rapidly extended its range from Asia westward in Europe and recently reached northern Africa. In America, it is now found from Brazil to Argentina, and may extend northward and reach North America as a parasite of africanized bees. The mite feeds on the hemolymph of adult and larval honey bees (A. cerana, Apis mellifera) and completes its life history within the cells of larval and pupal stages of the bee. |
