Bee xinmovirus 1 near-complete genome sequenced from honey bees and mining bees in Israel

Sequence data indicate that a new virus, bee xinmovirus 1, is present in both honey bee (<i>Apis mellifera</i>) and mining bee (<i>Andrena</i> spp.) samples from Israel. The near-complete genome is approximately 13,130 nucleotides long and most similar to viruses of the family <i>Xinmoviridae</i> (S. Sharpe and S. Paraskevopoulou, J Gen Virol 104:001906, 2023, https://doi.org/10.1099/jgv.0.001906).
