(Hymenoptera - Apidae) in Egypt by RT - PCR / PY - 2015/// CY - Cairo : PB - Heba Allah Elsayed Ibrahim Mohammed Seyam , KW - Deformed wing virus KW - Kakugo virus KW - Varroa mites and RT - PCR N1 - Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Science - Department of Entomology; Issued also as CD N2 - Total RNA was isolated for deformed wing virus (DWV) and Kakugo virus (KV) from honeybees. Viral detection and identification was confirmed by sequencing of the PCR products using conventional RT - PCR. Homology search of DWV PCR amplified fragment revealed similarities of 99% with DWV isolate Warwick - 2009 poly - protein gene (accession number: GU109335.1) and 98% with DWV isolate Chilensis A complete genome (accession number: JQ413340.1). Also, homology search of KV PCR amplified fragment revealed similarities of 97% with KV isolate - Ox genomic sequence (accession number: KC786224.1), 90.9% with DWV - Ox genomic sequence (accession number: KC786223.1) The described real - time RT - PCR SG RT - PCR proved to be a fast, accurate and useful technique to detect and quantify low viral loads in honeybees and varroa mites ER -
