Do you have any data on the variability in dimensions of the two nosema
spores?

At a recent talk I attended, Mike Brown of the UK  National Bee Unit quoted
the following dimensions for the major and minor directions (but no
variabilities):

Nosema Apis  5.55 microns by 3.05 microns
Nosema ceranae 5.14 microns by 2.68 microns
