From the July issue of Bee Culture (page 14): "...N. cerana prevalence in the U.S. has found the parasite to be widespread and to be in samples collected as far back as 2000... recent work has concluded that N. Ceranae is not likely the cause of CCD."

Dr. Nancy Ostiguy of Penn State spoke on the latest CCD research at the HAS conference last week. She said there have been some interesting findings - hinted at a completely new virus - but couldn't go into a lot of detail because the research paper is currently being peer-reviewed. Stay tuned....
