The distribution of genotypes of the trypanosome parasite, Crithidia bombi, in populations of its host, Bombus terrestris.

Parasitology - 1 Aug 2004

Schmid-Hempel P, Reber Funk C

Abstract excerpt

This study reports the distribution of parasite genotypes for the trypanosome Crithidia bombi across individual units (the colonies) in host populations of a social insect, the bumble bee Bombus terrestris. A number of microsatellite primers were developed and several of them were found to be polymorphic in our samples. Furthermore, a simple algorithm was used to identify the likely multi-locus genotypes present...
