I guess that we're back to definitions.  A virus IS a parasite.
" use of the term parasite is ecological (see the Glossary) and includes
both micro-parasites (e.g., viruses and bacteria) and macro-parasites
(e.g., worms)" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4601502/

It may be difficult to "eliminate" the virus, but there are clearly strains
of bees that are able to manage the vector of the virus.
