Paralytic signs in adult bees are an obvious manifestation of disease.... Bailey et al.(1963) demonstrated that the adult bee paralysis was caused by several different viruses. They identified and named the first picornavirus to cause adult paralysis as acute bee-paralysis virus(ABPV) to differentiate it from chronic bee-paralysis virus(CBPV).... Infected adult bees usually show the first symptom of "acute" paralysis in 2 to 4 days and then die within a day, in contrast to bees with chronic bee paralysis, which die several days later following chronic paralysis. The ABPV may infect both adult bees and brood when the colony is infested by a parasitic mite that may serve as a vector in transmitting the virus from severely infected to healthy bees. 2, record 2, English, - acute%20bee%20paralysis

Most parasitic viruses... spread when another(uninfected) program is loaded and executed. Such a virus, being memory-resident, first inspects the program for infection already in place. If it is not infected, the virus will infect it. If it is already infected, further infection is not necessary(although some parasitic viruses... do reinfect ad infinitum). 1, record 4, English, - reinfect%20ad%20infinitum

La majorité des virus parasites [...] se propagent à l'occasion du chargement et de l'exécution d'un autre programme (non contaminé). Résidant en mémoire, le virus commence par examiner le programme pour déterminer s'il est déjà contaminé. Si ce n'est pas le cas, il l'infecte. Dans le cas contraire, une nouvelle infection, n'est pas nécessaire (bien que certains virus parasites [...] recontaminent ad infinitum). 1, record 4, French, - recontaminer%20ad%20infinitum
