These guys should read each others papers. Marina Meixner, et al., reported on Nosema 
cernanae in Germany a year ago, concluding that it did not wipe out hives:

OIE-Symposium DIAGNOSIS and CONTROL of BEE DISEASES, August 26 and 28, 2008

result in winter fatalities. With regard to overwintering success of honey bee colonies, N. 
ceranae thus appears to be a *low-risk pathogen*.
