The European honey bee, Apis mellifera, as most insects of the world, is currently facing major difficulties and, particularly for honey bees, this results in significant colony losses. One of the most stressful factors for A. mellifera is the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor. V. destructor invasions are largely treatable and preventable, however they bring forth great challenges to A. mellifera populations and breeders, making apiculture increasingly time and resource consuming. The global research in apiculture pathology is mostly focused on Varroa sp. This review will be focusing on the recent literature in Varroa treatment, prevention and parasite - host interaction.
