Few colonies of the host Bombus terrestris disproportionately affect the genetic diversity of its parasite, Crithidia bombi.

Infection, genetics and evolution : journal of molecular epidemiology and evolutionary genetics in infectious diseases - 1 Jan 2014

Cisarovsky Gabriel, Schmid-Hempel Paul

Abstract excerpt

Sex and recombination have long been considered as necessary means for hosts to keep up with and resist to their faster reproducing parasites. On the other hand, comparatively little attention has been paid to potential benefits of recombination for the parasites. Using as model organisms the bumblebee Bombus terrestris and its genetically highly variable trypanosomatid parasite Crithidia bombi we analysed the...
