Possible Synergistic Effects of Thymol and Nicotine Against Crithidia bombi Parasitism in Bumble Bees. [PDF]
Floral nectar contains secondary compounds with antimicrobial properties that can affect not only plant-pollinator interactions, but also interactions between pollinators and their parasites.

Differential expression of immune defences is associated with specific host-parasite interactions in insects. [PDF]
Recent ecological studies in invertebrates show that the outcome of an infection is dependent on the specific pairing of host and parasite. Such specificity contrasts the long-held view that invertebrate innate immunity depends on a broad-spectrum ...

Parasites of the genus Nosema, Crithidia and Lotmaria in the honeybee and bumblebee populations: a case study in India [PDF]
The populations of honeybees and bumblebees have been decreasing around the world in the recent decades. A variety of pathogens and parasites, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, mites and insects play signi ficant role in honeybee and ...

Crithidia ricardoi sp. n. a new species of trypanosomatidae isolated from Culex saltanensis Dyar, 1928 (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]
A flagellte trypanosomatid was isolated in culture from the digestive tract of the mosquito Culex saltanensis Dyar, 1928. It grows exuberantly in liver infusion in the form of epimastigotes and choanomastigotes typical of the genus Crithidia.

Complex effects of climatic variation on bumblebee queen fitness. [PDF]
A dearth of data on the health of wild‐insect populations hinders efforts to fully grasp the extent of historical population declines or unravel the mechanisms driving these effects. We help fill this data deficit by testing how climatic variation affects health, reproduction, size and survival in bumblebees—important insect pollinators.

Sunflower Pollen and Bumble Bee Health: Mechanisms, Modifiers and Trade-Offs. [PDF]
This review integrates mechanistic evidence and field foraging data to examine how Asteraceae pollen affects Crithidia bombi infection in bumble bees. While laboratory studies show strong antiparasitic effects, field exposure is often limited, revealing a mismatch between efficacy and ecological relevance.

Impact of ethanol on regulated cell death Crithidia Fasciculata [PDF]
Given the early divergence of trypanosomatids in evolution and absence of genes central to “classical” cell death pathways, induction, and mechanisms of regulated cell death in these species will shed light on origin of these processes.
