Varroosis of honey bees

Class Definition

For the purposes of the Terrestrial Code, varroosis is a disease of honey bees (species of the genus Apis) caused by mites in the genus Varroa, primarily Varroa destructor. The mite is an ectoparasite of adults and brood of honey bees and spreads by direct contact from adult honey bee to adult honey bee, and by the movement of infested honey bees, bee brood, bee products and used apicultural equipment.
