I'm confused why we are not just calling CCD, Nosema Ceranae?  Its found in all CCD samples and the 
symptoms of N. Ceranae appear to fit your descriptions. 

Look at the highlighted words in both statements above.  There is a contradiction.  Nowhere can I see where Jerry said "all".  He said "many".  That's not to say that all the colonies might have had NC.  I don't know and can't say.  But in what I've read in the commentaries here I can't recall anyone saying "all" the collapsed colonies that were called CCD affected had Nosema Ceranae.
