Genetic variability of the neogregarine Apicystis bombi, an etiological agent of an emergent bumblebee disease.
The worldwide spread of diseases is considered a major threat to biodiversity and a possible driver of the decline of pollinator populations, particularly when novel species or strains of parasites emerge. Previous studies have suggested that populations of introduced European honeybee (Apis mellife...
