<Bill said It is interesting that "nosema disease" is not confined to
honeybees as it
is used as a pesticide for grasshoppers - nosema locustae.>
FYI, this was one of the first, if not the first biopesticides developed by
the USDA ARS lab that was on the Montana State University campus at the
time that I did my Grad Program there. The lab subsequently moved to Sidney,
MT.
In the NW, there is a another Nosema that at times hits spruce budworm
hard.
