Key Points

Trypanosomatid infections affect honey bees and their cell biology, influencing overall health and resistance.
The interaction between honey bees and trypanosomatids reveals critical gaps in our current understanding of their pathogenesis.
Studies on genomics can provide insights into host resistance and susceptibility to trypanosomatid infections in honey bee hosts.
Further research is necessary to fully elucidate the mechanisms by which trypanosomatids impact honey bee health.

Implication

This review uncovers the links between trypanosomatid pathology and host resistance mechanisms in honey bees, suggesting areas for further research.
