“…BQCV, which was the second most prevalent virus found in our study, has been reported in Spain, France, Hungary, Austria, and Brazil and in Denmark at a very low rate (5,15,19,21,29,30) but was not found in surveys of honeybees from Thailand (24). SBV, which was found to be prevalent in migratory bees but not in local Massachusetts bees, was also prevalent in bees from Denmark, France, and Austria (5,21,29) and absent or present at a very low rate in bees from Thailand, Hungary, and Brazil (15,26,29). Two other viruses that were not detected in Massachusetts bees, ABPV and CBPV, have been found in fairly high levels in bees from other countries, with ABPV being found in bees from Denmark, France, Hungary, Austria, Brazil, and Thailand (5,15,21,26,29,30) and CBPV in bees surveyed in France, Denmark, and Austria (5,21,30).…”
