>Actually, recent work shows that treating N. ceranae with fumagillin makes
it worse.

That statement should have some qualifiers.  The data indeed indicated that
there was a hormetic effect at very low doses.  But that doesn't mean that
treatment necessarily makes the infection level worse.  Plenty of recent
studies with N ceranae support that fumagillin can be of benefit.

FWIW, I have no financial interest in fumagillin, and do not normally use
it myself.
