The reason I ask is because of a comment by Chris Slade indicating that n. 
cerenae may not leave stains that are associated with n. apis infestation. 
I do not have a system to do a spore count.  That made me wonder if in using 
what seemed to be good old comb I was missing the presence of n. cerenae.

I have been repopulating dead outs just this week, so it was a novel thought 
that seemed important at this very moment.

Thanks for your thoughts.
