Bee xinmovirus 1 near-complete genome sequenced from honey bees and mining bees in Israel

BJBoone Jones KDKatie F. Daughenbaugh CCCharles C. Carey

Key Points

To identify and sequence the near-complete genome of bee xinmovirus 1 found in honey bees and mining bees.
Collected honey bee and mining bee samples from Israel.
Performed genomic sequencing on the samples.
Compared the genome to known viruses in the same family.
Identified a near-complete genome of approximately 13,130 nucleotides.
Established a close genetic relationship to viruses in the family Xinmoviridae.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Sequence data indicate that a new virus, bee xinmovirus 1, is present in both honey bee ( Apis mellifera ) and mining bee ( Andrena spp.) samples from Israel. The near-complete genome is approximately 13,130 nucleotides long and most similar to viruses of the family Xinmoviridae (S. Sharpe and S. Paraskevopoulou, J Gen Virol 104:001906, 2023, https://doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.001906 ).
