Taxonomy
There is one species currently recognised in this genus.
History
This species in this genus was first described by Liu in 1974 as a species in the genus Mattesia.
In 1996, Lipa and Triggiani transferred this organis, to a new genus Apicystis on the basis of morphology and life cycle.[1]
Description
The species in this genus are spread by the orofaecal route.
Oocysts are ingested. Within the intestine these develop into sporozoites.
The sporozoites penetrate the gut wall and invade the haemocoele subsequently taking up residence in the fat body.
Host records
This genus infects a number of hosts
- Apis mellifera
- Bombus dahlbomii

- Bombus ruderatus
- Bombus terrestris
- Bombus vagans
gollark: Brevity good, verbosity bad.
gollark: Are you... complaining about the anthropic principle or something...?
gollark: This seems really implausible? The only operation I can see a GPU doing for photos is scaling, for which the algorithms are pretty standard. Text rendering is trickier, though. Fingerprinting based on quirks in that with browser canvases exists, but I doubt this works on a low-resolution paper and it'll not tell you the GPU directly.
gollark: Do things, but not Visual Basic things.
gollark: Do not do this.
