Cuba is a tropical island where beekeeping is an important economic activity. Cuban honey bees have a European origin, being hybrids of Apis mellifera mellifera and A. m. ligustica. Although Varroa destructor and Nosema are widely distributed in the country, there is no information regarding Nosema species identity and the presence of honey bee viruses. In this study, we report for the first time the presence of Nosema ceranae, Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), Deformed wing virus (DWV) and Sacbrood bee virus (SBV) in Cuba. Their detection in different provinces and the simultaneous infection of colonies by several viruses indicate that they are widely spread in Cuba. On the other side, N. apis and Black queen cell virus (BQCV) were not detected.

古巴蜜蜂种群中的鼻蠹虫和 RNA 病毒

古巴是一个热带岛屿，养蜂是一项重要的经济活动。古巴蜜蜂起源于欧洲，是Apis mellifera mellifera 和A. m. 意大利语。虽然瓦螨和 Nosema 在该国广泛分布，但没有关于 Nosema 物种身份和蜜蜂病毒存在的信息。在这项研究中，我们首次报告了古巴存在蜜蜂蜂、急性蜜蜂麻痹病毒 (ABPV)、变形翅病毒 (DWV) 和 Sacbrood 蜜蜂病毒 (SBV)。它们在不同省份的检测以及几种病毒同时感染菌落表明它们在古巴广泛传播。另一方面，未检测到蜜蜂猪笼草和黑皇后细胞病毒（BQCV）。
