According to the Central Beekeepers Alliance:

> "Historical presence of Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus in the United States" will appear in the December 2007 issue of the American Bee Journal. With the cooperation of the Journal, however, Chen and Evans are making their report public now. This is done in the interests of putting the new information before the eyes of scientists and legislators in a timely manner, as it may have implications for regulations governing the importing of bees, as well as for future directions of research.
