As one of the six important pathogens of honey bees, Aethina tumida Murray can cause serious economic losses to the bee industry. The study clarified the suitable range and main environmental factors of A.tumida in China, which is of great significance to the early warning and quarantine control of A.tumida. According to the existing distribution data of A.tumida, the main environmental variables were selected, and the suitable area of A.tumida in the whole country was predicted by MaxEnt Model, R language software, ENM Tools software and ArcGIS software. The results showed that the suitable areas of A.tumida in China were mainly in most of South China, most of East China, most of Central China, most of Southwest China, less Northwest China and less areas of North China, and the highly suitable areas were mainly located in most of South China, most of East China, Central China and Southwest China. In addition, the average temperature and annual precipitation in the coldest season were important environmental variables that limit the potential geographical distribution of A.tumida. This prediction can provide a theoretical basis for the future prevention and quarantine of A.tumida. |
