Braula coeca es un díptero pequeño que afecta a las abejas melíferas, por su aspecto y comportamiento suele llamársele piojo de la abeja; sin embargo, es una mosca cuyas alas se han atrofiado. Pertenece al orden Diptera, familia Braulidae, compuesta por dos géneros Braula y Megabraula. El adulto es pequeño, mide de 1.2 a 1.5 mm de tamaño, se caracteriza por ser esférico, color rojizo, cabeza comprimida y ojos compuestos rudimentarios, sin ocelos. [...] En algunos casos se confunde con el ácaro Varroa destructor, debido a que ambos se ubican externamente sobre la abeja y presentan una coloración similar (caferrojiza). [...] La mosca B. coeca es un parásito externo de las abejas, se ubica generalmente en la parte dorsal del tórax. Parasita principalmente a la reina, con menor frecuencia a las obreras y casi nunca a los zánganos. 1, record 1, Spanish, - mosca%20de%20la%20abeja%20mel%C3%ADfera
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Braula coeca no es un piojo verdadero, sin embargo se comporta como tal. Es una mosca sin alas que parasita a las abejas adultas tomando de la probóscide de éstas el polen y el néctar. 2, record 1, Spanish, - mosca%20de%20la%20abeja%20mel%C3%ADfera
