The genotypic structure of a multi-host bumblebee parasite suggests a role for ecological niche overlap.

The genotypic structure of parasite populations is an important determinant of ecological and evolutionary dynamics of host-parasite interactions with consequences for pest management and disease control. Genotypic structure is especially interesting where multiple hosts co-exist and share parasites...
