> I can certainly believe that there is a correlation between mite
infestation levels and mortality, but does it necessarily follow that the
mite infestation is the _cause_ of the mortality?  Am I off base for
questioning this conclusion?

Not at all.  In the absence of viruses, colonies can tolerate astounding
levels of mite infestation.
