CBPV

[jenkinsbrynmair]

I wonder, do you need both the trembling and the shiny hairless bodies for clinical diagnosis?

no, there are two types of CBPV, one doesn't have shiny bees

My CBPV colony only had shaking bees , I didn't see any shiny ones.

There are actually three types, the third type is the asymptomatic one that ends up with the hive dying without apparent cause.
The only way to be certain is to perform a serological test.
The significant thing is that in the same hive they can present all three types at different times since the paternal genes (from the different drones since some may be more prone to infection than others).

So many viruses....and they get into a wide variety of other arthropods too apparently.

And the semen needs testing too.
