destructor library we further investigated two sets of large contigs with highly significant e values that suggested the presence of two viruses unique to Varroa : Contigs that displayed high homology (46% with an e value of <1e −85 ) to the polyprotein of the Iflavirus Brevicoryne brassicae picorna-like virus 24 ( Table 2 and Supplementary Table S7 ) and, A contig of 4169 nucleotides virus with high similarity (49% and e value of <1e −50 ) to Ixodes scapularis virus type 2 (ISAV-2) 25 ( Table 2 and Supplementary Table S7 ).
