Molecular detection and characterisation of RNA viruses of honeybees
Topley, Elize Lindsay (University of the Western Cape, 2009)Propagation methods for honeybee viruses have not changed since these viruses were discovered. There are no suitable cell lines or cell culture techniques available for honeybee viruses. Honeybee viruses have to be manually ... -
Molecular detection and characterisation of RNA viruses of honeybees
Topley, Elize Lindsay (University of the Western Cape, 2009)Honeybees have evolved through the centuries to inhabit most parts of the world except for the extreme Polar Regions. These insects have also been susceptible to pathogens and disease which has always been part of the ... -
Molecular detection and genetic manipulation of the Black Queen Cell Virus
Benjeddou, Mongi (University of the Western Cape, 2002)The South African isolate of the Black Queen-Cell Virus (BQCV), a honeybee virus, was previously found to have an 8550 nucleotide genome excluding the poly(A) tail. Its genome contained two ORFs, a 5'-proximal ORF encoding ... -
