Pete, this is to me a questionable conclusion.  I have questions on certain
aspects of methodology, with which I've questioned one of the the
referenced authors.  Something didn't jibe as far as the quantification of
virus presence.  I do not wish to go into detail on this forum, so let's
say that suspect that as Jerry B found, that there appears to be a
virus/nosema synergy, amplified by both cold and poor nutrition.
