Infection and transmission of Nosema bombi in Bombus terrestris colonies and its effect on hibernation, mating and colony founding [PDF]
, 2008 The impact of the microsporidium Nosema bombi on Bombus terrestris was studied by recording mating, hibernation success, protein titre in haemolymph, weight change during hibernation, and colony founding of queens that were inoculated with N.

So near and yet so far: Harmonic radar reveals reduced homing ability of nosema infected honeybees [PDF]
, 2014 Pathogens may gain a fitness advantage through manipulation of the behaviour of their hosts. Likewise, host behavioural changes can be a defence mechanism, counteracting the impact of pathogens on host fitness.

Within-host transmission strategies of transovarial, feminizing parasites of Gammarus duebeni [PDF]
, 1998 The amphipod Gammarus duebeni harbours several species of vertically transmitted, feminizing microsporidian parasites. G. duebeni were collected from 3 localities in the UK. Animals from Budle Bay, Northumberland, were infected with Octosporea effeminans,

Cellular distribution of a feminizing microsporidian parasite: a strategy for transovarial transmission [PDF]
, 1997 The cellular distribution of a vertically transmitted, feminizing microsporidian was followed in its host Gammarus duebeni. In adult females the parasite was restricted to gonadal tissue, in particular primary and secondary follicle cells.

PLoS ONE, 2021 The epidemiology of Nosema spp. in honey bees, Apis mellifera, may be affected by winter conditions as cold temperatures and differing wintering methods (indoor and outdoor) provide varying levels of temperature stress and defecation flight opportunities.

The impact of a vertically transmitted microsporidian, Nosema granulosis on the fitness of its Gammarus duebeni host under stressful environmental conditions [PDF]
, 2003 Although purely vertically transmitted parasites are predicted to cause low pathogenicity in their hosts, the effects of such parasites on host fitness under stressful environmental conditions have not previously been assessed.

ScienceRise: Biological Science, 2022 Temperature is one of the main abiotic factors affecting the development of causative agents of nosemosis in the bee's body. The aim of the research. To determine the influence of the winter and summer bee nest temperature (20–22 °C and 35–36 °C, respectively) on the duration of Nosema species development of winter bee generation isolated in hoarding ...
