Entretanto, a dinamica de popula es do ¨¢caro Varroa mostrou ser muito diferente das outras regi es afetadas pela varroose sendo os primeiros ¨ªndices registrados superiores a 20% e, ainda, se t¨ºm poucos trabalhos em rela o ¨¤ taxa de infesta o em diferentes regi es do Brasil. Desta forma, este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar um levantamento de incid¨ºncia do ¨¢caro Varroa destructor (Anderson & Trueman) em colmeias na regi o de Sinop, MT. As coletas foram realizadas nos meses de julho e agosto de 2011 em oito api¨¢rios fixos. Abelhas que estavam pr¨®ximas aos quadros centrais foram coletadas e no laborat¨®rio de Entomologia da UFMT, Campus Universit¨¢rio de Sinop, foi realizada a triagem e armazenamento das abelhas e ¨¢caros. Os api¨¢rios visitados est o situados nos munic¨ªpios de Santa Carmen e de Sinop e est o localizados em ¨¢reas de preserva o, embora estejam pr¨®ximos a ¨¢reas destinadas ao cultivo de soja e milho. Como resultado, obteve-se m¨¦dia de infesta o superior a 9%. In terms of apiculture diseases, Brazil stands in an advantageous situation compared to other countries, because of its rustic swarms that are more resistant to diseases, and, therefore, do not require antibiotics. Nevertheless, it was observed that the Varroa mite population was very different from those of other regions affected by varroatosis, with the first recorded rates above 20%. Furthermore, the studies regarding infestation rates in Brazil are scarce, which poses a barrier for comparisons in this regard. Hence, this study was performed with the objective to survey the incidence of the Varroa destructor (Anderson & Trueman) mite in bee colonies located in the region of Sinop, Mato Grosso. Samples were collected during July and August 2011 in eight apiaries fixed. Bees that were close to the central frames were collected and laboratory UFMT of Entomology, University Campus of Sinop was performed sorting and storage of bees and mites. Visited apiaries are located in the cities of Santa Carmen and Sinop and are located in areas of preservation, although they are near areas for the cultivation of soybeans and corn. The study found that the mean infestation was above 9%. %K ¨¢caro %K Apis %K Infesta o %K Apis %K Infestation %K Mite %U http://www.periodico.ebras.bio.br/ojs/index.php/ebras/article/view/ebrasilis.v6i1.254
