Genetic variation and microbiota in bumble bees cross-infected by different strains of C. bombi

Show other versions (1)

The bumblebee Bombus terrestris is commonly infected by a trypanosomatid gut parasite Crithidia bombi. This system shows a striking degree of genetic specificity where host genotypes are susceptible to different genotypes of parasite. To a degree, variation in host gene expression underlies these di...
