Dr. Fakhimizadeh published his work in American Bee
Journal (June 2000) and the refereed journal Apidologie
(Issue 2 of 2001).   He even posted a few comments to
Bee-L back in May 2001 about his work.

While Mr. Thomas Dowda, Agriculture and Consumer Protection
Supervisor with the state of Florida did write a 2004 ABJ
sidebar on the subject, I am sure that he would not want
to be put in the position of looking like he is trying to
steal Dr. Fakhimizadeh's thunder.

If I may ask, what happened to W. B. Ramirez with his
investigations showing that dusts and powders are very
effective against varroa way back in 1988? Not that there
weren't others involved or countries doing work i.e.
France?
Seems to me this was talked about in the now old "The
Varroa Handbook" by Mobus & Connor
