While intracellular life cycle, species-level genetic variation, and pathogenesis of the virus in honeybee hosts remain to be determined, the increasing prevalence of TRSV in conjunction with other bee viruses from spring toward winter in infected colonies was associated with gradual decline of host populations and winter colony collapse, suggesting the negative impact of the virus on colony survival. Conventional RT-PCR was performed on RNA samples extracted from adult bees, Varroa mites, different tissues, and bee bread collected from the same colony for the presence and distribution of TRSV. ./cache/cord-305336-wxiazglk.txt ./txt/cord-305336-wxiazglk.txt
