As I understand it, the Remebee was aimed at IAPV so if you had a "cocktail" 
then there may have been other viruses there that did not respond to the 
treatment because they were not "targetted".   Also could there have been a 
synergistic effect with say Nosema ceranae that the Remebee does not 
"treat"?
