VARROA

Etymology

From the genus name Varroa

Noun

varroa (uncountable)

(beekeeping, chiefly New Zealand) Infestation with the mite Varroa destructor, or the disease caused by such mites.

Usage notes

The damage caused by varroa appears to be a combination of that caused by the mites and by viruses transmitted by them, in particular deformed wing virus (DWV). Varroa has been suggested as a possible cause of colony collapse disorder.

Synonyms

• (condition of infestation of a colony by Varroa mites): varroatosis, varroosis
