Individual and combined impacts of sulfoxaflor and Nosema bombi on bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) larval growth. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2020 Sulfoxaflor is a globally important novel insecticide that can have negative impacts on the reproductive output of bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) colonies. However, it remains unclear as to which life-history stage is critically affected by exposure.

A scientific note on Nosema bombi infection intensity among different castes within a Bombus auricomus nest [PDF]
Apidologie, 2017 International audienceBumble bees (Bombus) provide vital services to agricultural and natural plant systems (Kremen et al. 2002; Fontaine et al. 2006). A survey across diverse North American Bombus species detected higher prevalence of infection by the ...

Nosema bombi: A pollinator parasite with detrimental fitness effects.
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2007 Nosema bombi is an obligate intracellular parasite that infects different bumblebee species at a substantial, though variable, rate. To date its pathology and impact on host fitness are not well understood.

Investigating the influence of diet diversity on infection outcomes in a bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) and microsporidian (Nosema bombi) host-pathogen system. [PDF]
Front Insect Sci, 2023 Diet can have an array of both direct and indirect effects on an organism’s health and fitness, which can influence the outcomes of host-pathogen interactions. Land use changes, which could impact diet quantity and quality, have imposed foraging stress on important natural and agricultural pollinators.

The Pathogens Spillover and Incidence Correlation in Bumblebees and Honeybees in Slovenia
Pathogens, 2021 Slovenia has a long tradition of beekeeping and a high density of honeybee colonies, but less is known about bumblebees and their pathogens. Therefore, a study was conducted to define the incidence and prevalence of pathogens in bumblebees and to ...
