C . deanei " is atypical of the Crithidia genus, and it has been argued not a member of the Crithidia at all.

3.
The best studied kDNA structure is that of " Crithidia fasciculata ", a catenated disk of circular kDNA maxicircles and minicircles, most of which are not supercoiled.
4.
The species name was accepted as " Crithidia deanei " until 2011, when phylogenetic analysis revealed that it belongs to the genus " Angomonas ", thereby becoming " Angomonas deanei ".
5.
The parasites negatively impact reproductive fitness of " Bombus " queens, as they affect their ovarian development as well as early colony establishment after the queens emerge from hibernation . " Crithidia mellificae ", is a parasite of the bee.
6.
"Crithidia bombi " is perhaps the most well documented species and is the most prevalent parasite of bumblebees, including common species like " Bombus terrestris ", " Bombus muscorum ", and " Bombus hortorum ".
7.
Accordingly, artificially increasing the number of mates a " B . terrestris " queen obtains through artificial insemination has shown that the increased genetic variability in her offspring confers greater resistance to the most common bumblebee parasite, " Crithidia bombi ."
8.
Commercially bred bumblebees used to pollinate greenhouses can be reservoirs for several pollinator parasites including the protozoans " Crithidia bombi ", and " Apicystis bombi ", the Microsporidians " Nosema bombi " and " Nosema ceranae ", plus viruses such as Deformed wing virus and the tracheal mites " Locustacarus buchneri ".
