Table 1.
Viruses observed in honey bees and mites from the RNA-Seq analysis. The counts are expressed as the average transcript abundance, expressed in transcripts per million (TPM). The viruses are ordered by the most to least common virus observed in honey bees. ‘S.E.’ is the standard error; ‘Infected’ is the percentage of the 27 hives from which the mite or bee samples had reads for each virus. ‘−’ indicates no virus reads were found in a sample. For the average, standard error, and range calculations we excluded the 0 values.
