Chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) is a Apis mellifera viral infectious disease, exhibiting dark and hairless abdomen in workers with tremors and ataxita. Clinical signs are also typically linked to adverse weather conditions and overcrowding in the hive. The disease occurs in spring but recently it has been observed cases increase and seasonality loss of the disease incidence.

Mechanisms of colistin resistance are linked to the mobile colistin resistance (mcr) genes, which are transferable within mobile plasmids. Currently, there is limited research on the environmental dissemination of these genes.

- Interspecific transmission of pathogens among wild bees is primarily influenced by honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies, which act as reservoirs for these pathogens, leading to significant concerns for wild bee populations in Italy due to limited data availability.
- A study sampled 3,372 bees across 11 Italian regions, finding that 68.4% were infected with at least one pathogen, with DWV, BQCV, N. ceranae, and CBPV being the most common.
- The research identified that factors such as meteorological conditions and agricultural practices have a larger impact on pathogen spread than apiary density, highlighting the need for conservation efforts to protect wild bee health and populations.
Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), Kashmir bee virus (KBV), and Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV) usually persist as covert infections in honey bee colonies. They can cause rapid bee mortality in cases of severe infection, often associated with high Varroa destructor infestation, by which they are transmitted. In various countries, these viruses have been associated with colony collapse.
