Phoretic mites on South American bumblebees (<i>Bombus</i> spp.) as parasite carriers: a historical input

Phoretic mites associated with bumblebees are considered commensals that represent little or no risk for their hosts. The aim of the present study was to assess the potential role of the phoretic mites <i>Pneumolaelaps longanalis</i> and <i>Parasitellus fucorum</i>, as carrie...

description Phoretic mites associated with bumblebees are considered commensals that represent little or no risk for their hosts. The aim of the present study was to assess the potential role of the phoretic mites <i>Pneumolaelaps longanalis</i> and <i>Parasitellus fucorum</i>, as carriers of parasites that are known to affect bees. Mites were extracted from bumblebees dating between 1945 and 1981 which belong to museum collections, and from a freshly collected queen. The DNA was extracted and amplified, and the final products were sequenced and analyzed. Parasite’s DNA was found in all samples. <i>Ascosphaera</i> spp., <i>Crithidia bombi</i>, <i>Lotmaria passim</i>, and <i>Nosema ceranae</i> were present in both mite species. Moreover, DNA from <i>Apis mellifera</i> filamentous virus (AmFV), <i>Apicystis bombi</i>, <i>Ascosphaera apis</i>, <i>Nosema apis</i>, and <i>Nosema bombi</i> was found in <i>P. longanalis</i>. This study represents the oldest report of parasite’s DNA in bumblebee phoretic mites, highlighting the relevance of museum samples for historical studies in parasitology.
