Assessing potential viral transmission between honeybees and hive-infesting ants using novel per-hive co-detection indices

Understanding which ant species interacting with honeybees can transmit or acquire viruses is crucial for managing honeybee health. Our objective was to develop a new methodology using two indices, based on a per-hive approach, to identify ant-virus combinations with high transmission potential (Mat...
