Has the term Parasitic Mite Syndrome (PMS) been replaced with Varroa Mite Syndrome (VMS) or are they both being used? 

The Honey Bee Health Coalition Best Management Practices used VMS on p. 36.

<<Several signs can indicate Varroa Mite Syndrome (VMS), including too few adult bees to cover brood, spotty brood pattern, dying larvae off color and “snot-like” in appearance, sickly appearing adults, high Varroa mite infestation, mite poop in the cells of emerged bees, and/or immature mites visible in cells. >>
