The discussion/debate on N ceranae is fully as interesting as the
discussion on neonics or mite monitoring!
A friend who attended Eurobee was surprised by the conflicting conclusions
by researchers.
The study that you cited is strongly criticized on points by Higes. I've
also gone through the German study cited, and feel that there was simply
not enough of a level of infection by N ceranae to extrapolate conclusions
to the effects of the sort of infection levels that we observe in the U.S.
