Varroa underwoodi is a mite that feeds on honey bees. It is an external parasite of the western honey bee (Apis mellifera), Asian honey bee (A. cerana), A. nigrocincta, and A. nuluensis[2][3] V. underwoodi has been found on multiple bee species in Southern Asia, though has only been found on the Asian honey bee in China.[4][3] The smallest sized V. underwoodi was collected from Papua New Guinea from western honey bee hives.[3]
Hosts
Hosts are primarily Apis dorsata, A. laboriosa and A. breviligula.[5] Includes A. cerana.
