Does infection by Nosema ceranae cause “Colony Collapse Disorder” in honey bees (Apis mellifera)? (2010, background): “Nomema bombi is a widespread pathogen of many bumble bee species (Tay et al., 2005) that reduces colony productivity (Otti and Schmid-Hempel, 2008).”
Disease ecology meets ecological immunology: understanding the links between organismal immunity and infection dynamics in natural populations (2011, unknown): “These selected studies are not intended as an exhaustive list, and the strength of the relationships between immune function and infection processes depends on the host species examined Host-pathogen system Topic Relevance of immune findings to infection ⁄ disease Representative publications African”
Patterns of widespread decline in North American bumble bees (2011, background): “bombi may vary depending on the host species and reproductive caste and include reductions in colony growth and individual life span and fitness (15, 16).”
