> Significant variation in V. destructor infestation levels was found in AHB in Brazil, considering the factors year and Brazilian geographic region. However, no colony losses have been reported due to varroa infestations.
This could be due to any number of reasons, such as low incidence of the viruses usually associated with varroa. Or it may be driven by climate. But no matter what the reason, it remains significant nonetheless.
