"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)."
