Pollen extracts and constituent sugars increase growth of a trypanosomatid parasite of bumble bees [PDF]
Phytochemicals produced by plants, including at flowers, function in protection against plant diseases, and have a long history of use against trypanosomatid infection.

Ecological Factors Shaping Nosema and Crithidia Prevalence in Coastal Sage Scrub Bee and Ant Communities [PDF]
Pathogens are one of the major factors attributed to bee species declines. Flowers can serve as hubs for bee pathogens and shared floral resources mediate the acquisition of pathogens from infected to healthy hosts.

First PCR isolation of Crithidia mellificae (Euglenozoa: Trypanosomatidae) in Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Italy [PDF]
Crithidia mellificae (Langridge & McGhee, 1967) is a trypanosomatid described in Apis mellifera (Linnaeus, 1758). The pathological effects of this parasite on the host are not well known.

Temporal analysis of the honey bee microbiome reveals four novel viruses and seasonal prevalence of known viruses, Nosema, and Crithidia. [PDF]
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) play a critical role in global food production as pollinators of numerous crops. Recently, honey bee populations in the United States, Canada, and Europe have suffered an unexplained increase in annual losses due to a ...

Genomic Variation among Strains of
In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the genomes of 40 strains, in addition to the already-reported two type strains, of two Crithidia species infecting bumblebees in Alaska and Central Europe and demonstrated that different strains of Crithidia ...

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success
Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.
