Host evolutionary history predicts virus prevalence across bumblebee species
2018-12-17
Abstract excerpt
Why a pathogen associates with one host but not another is one of the most important questions in disease ecology. Here we use transcriptome sequencing of wild-caught bumblebees from 13 species to describe their natural viruses, and to quantify the impact of evolutionary history on the realised associations between viruses and their pollinator hosts. We present 37 novel virus sequences representing at least 30 dif...
