DWV quasispecies diversity and selection indices according to host developmental status.

Estimates of the nucleotide diversity and selection indices for the DWV quasispecies from the 24-hour serial inocula (pupae) and the 7-day (a)symptomatic adult transmission progeny (adult bees). Negative values of Tajima’s D87 and Fu and Li’s D and F88 selection indices signify an excess of low frequency polymorphisms, indicating expansion of the population size as well as negative (purifying) selection. P-values in the Codon-Based Z Test of Selection refer to the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis of strict-neutrality (equal indices of synonymous and non-synonymous substitutions) in favour of the alternative hypothesis (positive or negative selection). Values of P > 0.05 were considered non-significant (ns). The values were estimated from the sub-consensus sequences of the different quasispecies. Only characters with a Minor Allele Frequency (MAF) ≥ 0.02 were included in the sub-consensus sequences.
