Lake Sinai Virus in Europe?

[TooBee...]

Not wanting to clog up an existing Thread with an Off Topic question I've started a new one.

****

In the below article it claims that Lake Sinai Virus is in Europe (Lake Sinai is a lake in South Dakota USA, and from memory the virus was first identified in 2010 in the USA):
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41...ted&code=dfd6f428-97b7-45a0-ad89-b1d4cb0f544c
"Like DWV, LSV is also highly prevalent in honey bees in the Americas and Europe"

it's referenced source is found at https://www.mdpi.com/1999-4915/7/6/2772/htm
- but I was unable to find a specific reference to LSV being found in Honey Bees IN Europe in this original source.

SO is LSV found over here in Europe, and specifically in the British Isles??? Or is it just a bit of 'we've found it in the USA so it must be in the rest of the world' thinking?

 

[For want of a better word]

Not another one?


Just about getting used to finding the Danish Pastry Virus that knocks out 10%+ of the brood!

Supplementary Table S2 lists LSV sequences from Belgium which was in Europe when I last checked (you never can tell these days)

They're also here ... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/KM886902

and 03, 04, 05 ...

which list the original papers they're from which looks like:
AUTHORS Ravoet,J., De Smet,L., Wenseleers,T. and de Graaf,D.C.
TITLE Genome sequence heterogeneity of Lake Sinai Virus found in honey
bees and Orf1/RdRP-based polymorphisms in a single host
JOURNAL Virus Res. 201, 67-72 (2015)

fatshark thanks,

so it does appear that members of the LSV family are in Europe, and maybe / probably in the British Isles.

"...Since the discovery of LSV1 and LSV2, the LSV group has been expanded to include LSV3 [14], LSV-Navarra [23], LSV4, LSV5, and several LSVs discovered in Belgium [24,30]. LSVs have been detected in the US, Spain, Belgium, and Turkey [14,20,23,24,30,31], as well as in multiple bee species [32]."

The numbers are the sources found at the bottom here

Research (there's a Thread on it) has been able to re-produce CCD whenever the colony had multiple (or overloaded with) viruses.

...wonderful...

Not sure if you are implying a spread from the states?
Which is not the most likely scenario. My interpretation would be that until it's discovery no-one was looking for it...now they have a sequence they find it and variants in Europe. Always has been here just not looked for before.

Exactly. Another incidentaloma.

The most easy way to get CCD into your hives is to do nothing. Varroa makes the phenomenom that there are handfull of bees with the Queen in the hive and there are no dead bees on the floor of the hive.
