| Abstract |
Varroa mite was recorded for first time in Egypt in 1983 as V. jacobson, while another report indicated that, Varroa in Egypt is V. destructor. The purpose of this study is to provide accurate identification of Varroa mites in Egypt and to investigate which Varroa species are present on honey bees in Egypt. In this respect, the sequencing of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit gene (mt CO-I), morphometric analysis and scanning electronic microscopy were carried out. Varroa mite samples collected from ten different Egyptian localities. Based on the obtained results, all studied samples belonged to V. destructor. This is the first evidence for Varroa identification in Egypt based on mt DNA sequencing and morphometrics as well as light and scanning electronic microscopy. These results will influence quarantine protocols for bee mite, and may present new strategies for mite control in Egypt.
