Thinking about what Jerry wrote I would think that it does not say that 
combs cannot be a source of infection.  I note that Jerry said "not 
recovering much Nosema".  Does this mean that these small amounts are enough 
to start an "infection"?  If these combs are not the source of the 
"infection" where would it come from?  Does it mean there are always enough 
bees in the hive with the spores to have it flare up at the opportune time?
