• The Trojan hives: pollinator pathogens, imported and distributed in bumblebee colonies (2013, background): “The parasites included three specialist parasites of bumblebees (Apicystis bombi, Crithidia bombi and Nosema bombi) that can negatively affect their health (Schmid-Hempel 2001), with the colony-level prevalence of these being similar to the prevalence reported in wild bumblebee populations (Gillespi”
• Influence of combined pesticide and parasite exposure on bumblebee colony traits in the laboratory (2014, background): “The trypanosome gut parasite C. bombi is common across bumblebee populations, reaching the prevalence of up to 30% in spring queens and 80% in summer worker populations (Shykoff & Schmid-Hempel 1991; Gillespie 2010).”
