Experimental conditions and bee sampling.
| Conditions | CBPV RNA copy number per bee | Number of bees per cage |
| Bees not inoculated (negative control: NC) | 0 | 30 | Bees inoculated with inoculation buffer (IB) | 0 | 30 | Bees inoculated with CBPV particles (VP) | 4.0 × 104 | 40 | Bees inoculated with CBPV (naked RNAs) | 4.0 × 109 | 65 | Bees inoculated with the mix of CBPV RNA 1 + RNA 2 (major RNAs) | 4.0 × 109 | 65 |
