Abstract excerpt
The protozoan parasite Crithidia bombi and its host, the bumblebee Bombus terrestris, are used as a model system for the study of the evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions. In order to study these interactions we established a method for in vitro cultivation of single parasite strain...
