520 3 _aMexico is a major honey producer, but not much information exists about the health status of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.)in the country. This study was conducted to determine the sanitary status of adult honey bees in Mexico's five beekeeping regions. Samples from 369 apiaries were diagnosed to identify pathogens such as Varroa destructor, which was quantified, Acarapis woodi, Nosema spp., and five viruses. Colonies were also inspected for the presence of the small hive beetle (SHB), Aethina tumida. Varroa destructor was found in 83.5 percent of the apiaries, with the Pacific Coast region having the highest prevalence (>95 percent)and rates (4.5 percent ± 0.6). Acarapis woodi was detected in only one apiary from the Pacific Coast, whereas Nosema spp. were prevalent in 48.5 percent of the apiaries, with the highest and lowest frequencies in the Yucatan Peninsula and North regions (64.6 percent and 10.2 percent, respectively). For viruses, deformed wing virus (DWV)was detected in 26.1 percent of the apiaries, with the highest frequency in the Pacific Coast region (44.7 percent). Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV)was diagnosed in 3.2 percent of the samples and sacbrood bee virus (SBV)in 23.3 percent of them, with the highest frequency in the High Plateau region (36.4 percent). Chronic bee paralysis and Kashmir bee viruses were not detected. SHB prevalence was 25.2 percent nationwide, with the highest frequency in the Yucatan Peninsula (39.2 percent). This study shows that the most common parasites of adult honey bees in Mexico are V. destructor and Nosema spp., and that the most prevalent virus is DWV, whereas SHB is highly prevalent in the Yucatan Peninsula. This information could be useful to design disease control strategies for honey bee colonies in different regions of Mexico.
