>Peter, what were the three viruses?  This paper is not on their website as yet.


If you go to the Apidologie web site, you will find it in the "E-First"
section at the very bottom. Oddly, they put the new papers at the bottom in
"E-First" while they put the new ones in "Forthcoming" at the top. Go figure.

> The occurrence and spatial distribution of deformed wing virus (DWV),
black queen cell virus (BQCV), and Kashmir bee virus (KBV) were assessed in
294 honeybee colonies in Spain by employing a SYBR-Green based real time
RT-PCR. 60% of them were positive for both DWV and BQCV, and those two
viruses were detected in 84% and 68% of the samples, respectively.
Conversely, KBV was detected in only 1.7% of the samples. -- from the abstract.
