Bee sampling infected with Apicystis bombi in different geographical areas.
, 2013 Overview of bumblebee (Bombus pratorum, Bombus terrestris, Bombus ephippiatis and Bombus ruderatus) and honeybee (Apis mellifera) samples included in the study, including the numbers of bees from each species at each location. All bees were infected with

Resource supplementation later in the colony cycle improves real‐world bumblebee colony survival
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.Our findings suggest that B. terrestris colonies became food‐limited towards the end of their colony cycle in early summer. We suggest ecological intensification through planting native wildflower species may be more effective if it targets this flowering period, particularly within heavily arable areas, and that a staggered patchwork of mowing or ...

, 2021 The invasion of non-native bees to new ecological territories could spread novel pathogens causing emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) in native species. We provide novel information on the prevalence, load, and co-infection network of honey bee viruses,

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 303-318, May 2025.The information learned from discovered wild bumble bee nests can be of great conservation value if studied in situ and post‐season excavation in a standardised way. We provide standardised guidance to follow when nest discoveries arise, including key conservation questions and methodological guidelines to study behaviour, floral use, genetics, body ...

Examining the effects of repeated pesticide exposure on bumblebee queen survival and reproduction
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–March 2025.Here, we look at the effects of an unstudied, yet biologically likely exposure regime, on bumblebee queens. We found that neither exposure to sulfoxaflor pre‐ or post‐hibernation, nor their combination, impacted hibernation survival or colony foundation.

Apicystis bombi (Apicomplexa: Neogregarinorida) parasitizing Apis mellifera and Bombus terrestris (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Argentinae mi4_261 1..4 [PDF]
, 2020 Summary The neogregarine Apicystis bombi is considered a low prevalence parasite of Bombus spp. Before our work it has only once been detected in one single specimen of the Western honeybee Apis mellifera.

Long-term prevalence of the protists Crithidia bombi and Apicystis bombi and detection of the microsporidium Nosema bombi in invasive bumble bees [PDF]
, 2020 An initial survey in 2009 carried out at a site in northwestern Patagonia region, Argentina, revealed for the first time in South America the presence of the flagellate Crithidia bombi and the neogregarine Apicystis bombi, two pathogens associated with ...

Genetic Variability of the Neogregarine Apicystis bombi, an Etiological Agent of an Emergent Bumblebee Disease [PDF]
, 2019 The worldwide spread of diseases is considered a major threat to biodiversity and a possible driver of the decline of pollinator populations, particularly when novel species or strains of parasites emerge. Previous studies have suggested that populations

Bee pathogens found in Bombus atratus from Colombia : a case study
, 2015 Bombus atratus bumblebees from Colombia that were caught in the wild and from breeding programs were screened for a broad set of bee pathogens. We discovered for the first time Lake Sinai Virus and confirmed the infection by other common viruses.
