a Biplot graph from a PCA showing the positive correlation between the log10-transformed copy numbers of DWV-B measured in V. destructor foundresses, in their offspring and in bee pupae. Each dot combines the viral copy numbers quantified in the bee and the mites sampled in a single cell. The contribution of the variables to the first axis is represented by the color gradient and is around 35% for each of the variables. b Distribution of the log10-transformed DWV-B copy numbers in bees, mite foundresses and their offspring along with the Spearman correlation rates measured between variables. Asterisks indicate the level of significance: *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01; ***P ≤ 0.001. PCA, Principal component analysis
