Bumblebees (tribe Bombini, genus Bombus Latreille) play a pivotal role as pollinators in mountain regions for both native plants and for agricultural systems. In our survey of northern Thailand, four species of bumblebees (Bombus (Megabombus) montivagus Smith, B. (Alpigenobombus) breviceps Smith, B. (Orientalibombus) haemorrhoidalis Smith and B. (Melanobombus) eximius Smith), were present in 11 localities in 4 provinces (Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son, Chiang Rai and Nan). We collected and screened 280 foraging worker bumblebees for microsporidia (Nosema spp.) and trypanosomes (Crithidia spp.). Our study is the first to demonstrate the parasite infection in bumblebees in northern Thailand. We found N. ceranae in B. montivagus (5.35%), B. haemorrhoidalis (4.76%), and B. breviceps (14.28%) and N. bombi in B. montivagus (14.28%), B. haemorrhoidalis (11.64%), and B. breviceps (28.257%).
熊蜂（部落 Bombini，属 Bombus Latreille）在山区作为传粉媒介起着至关重要的作用，既为本地植物，也为农业系统提供传粉服务。在我们对泰国北部的调查中，发现有 4 种熊蜂（Bombus (Megabombus) montivagus Smith、B. (Alpigenobombus) breviceps Smith、B. (Orientalibombus) haemorrhoidalis Smith 和 B. (Melanobombus) eximius Smith）存在于 4 个省的 11 个地区（清迈、清莱、夜丰颂和难府）。我们收集并筛选了 280 只觅食工蜂，以检测微孢子虫（Nosema spp.）和锥虫（Crithidia spp.）。我们的研究首次证明了泰国北部熊蜂受到寄生虫感染。我们在 B. montivagus（5.35%）、B. haemorrhoidalis（4.76%）和 B. breviceps（14.28%）中发现了 N. ceranae，在 B. montivagus（14.28%）、B. haemorrhoidalis（11.64%）和 B. breviceps（28.257%）中发现了 N. bombi。
