Arı Akarı: Tropilaelaps
Özet
Asya kıtasının arı paraziti olan Tropilaelaps akarı gitgide yayılarak küresel bir tehdit haline gelmiştir. Dev bal arılarından Apis dorsata’nın paraziti olarak bilinen bu akar modern arıcılığın artması ile birlikte Apis mellifera’ya da bulaşmıştır. Türkiye’de henüz rastlanılmamış olan bu akara İran, Gürcistan ve Rusya’da rastlandığına dair kayıtlar yer almaktadır. Varroa’ya göre daha küçük morfolojisi olan Tropilaelaps, daha istilacı özelliğe sahiptir. Varroa’dan erişkin arılarla beslenmemeleri ile ayrılırlar. Sadece kuluçka gözlerindeki larva ve pupalarla beslenirler. Deforme kanat virüsünün neden olduğu hastalıktaki belirtilere benzer belirtiler ortaya çıkarırlar. İlaçsız mücadele yöntemlerinin yanında Varroa ile mücadelede kullanılan kimyasal ilaçlar bu akar için de geçerlidir. Gerekli önlemlerin alınması açısından akarın bal arısı yetiştiricileri ve gerekli kuruluşlarca iyi bilinmesi gerekmektedir.
Tropilaelaps mite, a bee parasite of Asia, has become a global threat. Known as a parasite of the giant honey bee Apis dorsata, this mite has also infected Apis mellifera with the increase in modern beekeeping. This mite has not yet been encountered in Türkiye, but there are records of its occurrence in Iran, Georgia and Russia. Tropilaelaps, which has a smaller morphology than Varroa, is more invasive. They differ from Varroa in that they do not feed on adult bees. They feed only on larvae and pupae in brood cells. They produce symptoms similar to those of the disease caused by deformed wing virus. In addition to non-drug control methods, the chemical drugs used in the fight against Varroa are also valid for this mite. In order to take the necessary precautions, the mite should be well known by honey bee breeders and necessary organizations.
