Abstract： A massive and abrupt decline in honeybees, sufficient to cause a serious pollination crisis, occurred in America and parts of Europe from winter 2006 to spring 2007. The sudden collapse of honeybee colonies is known as colony collapse disorder (CCD) and was initially thought to be caused by Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV). Following more research, it is generally accepted that a variety of pathogenic factors may cause CCD. This paper summarizes recent advances in research on IAPV.
