Many years ago one of our BKA members, a bee farmer, deliberately (and illegally here in the UK!) melted the wax from one of his colonies that had AFB and used it to make foundation.  He very carefully monitored the hive into which he placed the foundation and no AFB appeared.  His theory was that the wax coating prevented the spores from functioning.
