Aparavirus is a genus of viruses in the order Picornavirales, in the family Dicistroviridae. Invertebrates, honeybee, and bumblebees serve as natural hosts. There are six species in this genus. Diseases associated with this genus include: ABPV: paralysis. This virus plays a role in sudden collapse of honey bee colonies infested with the parasitic mite varroa destructor.{{cite web|title=Viral Zone|url=http://viralzone.expasy.org/all_by_species/2156.html|publisher=ExPASy|accessdate=13 August 2015}}{{cite web|title=Virus Taxonomy: 2024 Release|url=https://ictv.global/taxonomy|publisher=International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses|access-date=20 March 2025}}
Taxonomy
The genus contains the following species, listed by scientific name and followed by the exemplar virus of the species:
- Aparavirus apisacutum, Acute bee paralysis virus
- Aparavirus cancerluti, Mud crab virus

Life cycle
Entry into the host cell is achieved by penetration into the host cell. Replication follows the positive stranded RNA virus replication model. Positive stranded RNA virus transcription is the method of transcription. Invertebrates, honeybee, and bumblebees serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are contamination and saliva.
