"Varroa jacobsoni" mites are a relatively benign parasite of "Apis cerana" (Asian honey bees).

Until very recently it was thought that they were the cause of the varroatosis, a parasitic disease that plagues Western honey bees, "Apis mellifera", since the early 1960s. Only in 2000 a separate species of "Varroa", "Varroa destructor", was positively identified as the only "Varroa" mites that can reproduce in colonies of "Apis mellifera".
