Robert Paxton

Honey bees host a number of viruses, chief among which is deformed wing virus (DWV). The virus is nowadays found in a variety of other insect species, particularly other bee species, which presumably acquire DWV through feeding on contaminate flowers. Robert will use his and others’ research to examine how widespread pathogen spillover is among bee species, and what its consequences might be.
