The threat of pesticide and disease co-exposure to managed and wild bee larvae (2022)
Journal Article
Yordanova, M., Evison, S. E., Gill, R. J., & Graystock, P. (2022). The threat of pesticide and disease co-exposure to managed and wild bee larvae. International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 17, 319-326. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijppaw.2022.03.001

Brood diseases and pesticides can reduce the survival of bee larvae, reduce bee populations, and negatively influence ecosystem biodiversity. However, major gaps persist in our knowledge regarding the routes and implications of co-exposure to these s...

Transmission, Tropism, and Biological Impacts of Torix Rickettsia in the Common Bed Bug Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) (2020)
Journal Article
Thongprem, P., Evison, S. E. F., Hurst, G. D. D., & Otti, O. (2020). Transmission, Tropism, and Biological Impacts of Torix Rickettsia in the Common Bed Bug Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae). Frontiers in Microbiology, 11, Article 608763. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2020.608763

The torix group of Rickettsia have been recorded from a wide assemblage of invertebrates, but details of transmission and biological impacts on the host have rarely been established. The common bed bug (Cimex lectularius) is a hemipteran insect which...

Host-parasite genotypic interactions in the honey bee: The dynamics of diversity (2013)
Journal Article
Evison, S. E., Fazio, G., Chappell, P., Foley, K., Jensen, A. B., & Hughes, W. O. (2013). Host-parasite genotypic interactions in the honey bee: The dynamics of diversity. Ecology and Evolution, 3(7), 2214-2222. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.599

Parasites are thought to be a major driving force shaping genetic variation in their host, and are suggested to be a significant reason for the maintenance of sexual reproduction. A leading hypothesis for the occurrence of multiple mating (polyandry)... Read More about Host-parasite genotypic interactions in the honey bee: The dynamics of diversity.
