<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.
