Abstract

In order for viruses to continue their generation, they must necessarily replicate in cells carrying their receptors. Changes occur in these unique cells, which are the target of viruses, as a result of result of reproduction. These changes are the death of the cell as a result of the disintegration of the cell that encounters the virus, the survival of the cell, but the constant scattering of the virus, the change in the genetic structure of the cell, the continuous reproduction of the cell, and the hiding of the virus in the cell. When the deformed wing virus replicates in the wing formation cells during the bee development period, it causes deformation of the wings in the adult bee due to its effects on these cells. Because bees with deformed wings cannot fly, they cannot feed and die. The aim of this review is to emphasize the viruses specific to bees, their transmission routes to bees and their effects on honey bee colonies.

Abstract

Virusların nesillerini devam ettirebilmeleri için özgün reseptörlerini taşıyan hücrelerde mutlaka çoğalmaları gerekir. Virusların hedefi olan bu işlevsel hücrelerde üreme sonucunda değişiklikler meydana gelir. Bu değişiklikler, virusla karşılaşan hücrenin parçalanması sonucu hücrenin ölmesi, hücrenin hayatta kalması ancak virusun sürekli saçılması, hücrenin genetik yapısındaki değişiklik ile sürekli çoğalmasıdır. Bal arılarında, deforme kanat virusu, arı gelişim döneminde kanat oluşum hücrelerinde çoğaldığında, bu hücreler üzerindeki öldürücü etkilerinden dolayı ergin arıda kanatların deformasyonuna neden olur. Virusun bu deformasyonu ile bal arılarının kanatları oluşmaz, arılar uçamazlar, beslenemezler ve ölürler. Bu derlemenin amacı, bal arılarında etkisi olan özgün virusların, arılara bulaşma yolları ve bal arısı kolonileri üzerindeki etkilerine vurgu yapmaktır.
