dc.description.abstractIn a study of 220 eastern bumblebee specimens collected from the Roanoke and New River Valley areas, PCR analysis of the gut lumen revealed the absence of <i>Nosema</i> spp. infections, challenging prevailing assumptions about their prevalence in bumblebee populations. The outcome underscores the need for further research to determine the factors contributing to this absence, including the unique ecological context of the study area. These findings highlight the significance of host susceptibility and survivability, emphasizing the complexity associated with parasite-host interactions within bumblebees.en
