"The presence of replicating DWV with overt infection in V. crabro leads to hypothesize the development  of  a possible system to  protect  healthy honey bee’s colonies from  Vespa  velutina  Lepeletier,  a  dangerous  invasive alien  honey  bee’s  predator  recently  introduced  in Europe  from  South  East  Asia  (Monceau et  al., 2014). This  system  could  be  based  on  the  use  of  naturally highly infected bee colonies as possible prey.

Additional studies need  to  be performed in this direction, since to our knowledge it is not clear if infection of DWV in V. crabro or other predators could have lethal consequences.  The pathological  aspect of  DWV  infection in V. crabro could be confirmed by performing experimental  infection  in  wasp’s  larvae  (V.  crabro  and V. velutina). 

In conclusion, in this paper we provide evidence of the first  detection  of  replication  competent  DWV  from symptomatic and asymptomatic European hornet queens (V. crabro)."
