The small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida Murray is an invasive pest of the honey bee. This beetle feeds not only on bee resources within the hive such as honey and pollen, but also on bee brood and dead bees. The impact of this beetle's intimate parasitic association with the honey bee on virus transmission is poorly understood.

The small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida Murray, is an invasive pest of the honey bee and causes significant damage through the consumption of colony resources and brood. Two assumptions related to honey bee virus transmission have been made about SHB: first, that SHB vectors honey bee viruses and second, that these viruses replicate in SHB based on the detection of both positive and negative strand viral genomic RNA within SHB. To clarify the role of SHB in virus transmission, we sought to address whether selected honey bee viruses replicate in SHB.

Aethina tumida (small hive beetle, SHB) is a rapidly spreading invasive parasite of bee colonies. The olfactory system plays a key role in insect behavior, and odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are involved in the first step of the olfactory signal transduction pathway and the detection of host volatiles. However, the olfactory mechanism of OBPs in SHB-localized bee colonies is unclear.

The spread of invasive species often follows a jump-dispersal pattern. While jumps are typically fostered by humans, local dispersal can occur due to the specific traits of a species, which are often poorly understood. This holds true for small hive beetles (Aethina tumida), which are parasites of social bee colonies native to sub-Saharan Africa.
