Prevalence and distribution of three bumblebee pathogens from the Czech Republic.

Original language description

In recent decades, there has been a significant global decline in pollinators. In addition to the honey bee, it is bumblebees that contribute significantly to the pollination of many wild and farm plants. Many factors, such as habitat loss, climate change, pesticides and pathogens, are contributing to the decline of bumblebee populations. The main parasites of bumblebees include Crithidia bombi, Apicystis bombi and Nosema bombi. In our study, we aimed to obtain the first knowledge of their occurrence in the Czech Republic in the two most abundant bumblebee species (buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris and red-tailed bumblebee Bombus lapidarius). More than half of the captured buff-tailed bumblebee individuals were infected by C. bombi, less than a quarter of N. bombi individuals and the least by A. bombi. Red-tailed bumblebee individuals were infected less frequently. Surprisingly, more individuals were infected with all three parasite species than with only the combination of N. bombi and A. bombi. Parasite infection is also influenced by the environment. More individuals were infected with C. bombi in urban and forested landscapes than in grasslands and agricultural landscapes. In turn, a higher incidence of N. bombi was found around greenhouses where commercially produced bumblebees were used.
