J Invertebr Pathol 97:76-8. 2008..Spore infectivity is shown after artificial infection of Nosema-free adult bees. The epidemiological consequences of the presence of Nosema spores in corbicular pollen require more study and must be considered in beekeeping practices... 
Regurgitated pellets of Merops apiaster as fomites of infective Nosema ceranae (Microsporidia) sporesMariano Higes
Regional Apicultural Center, Dirección General de la Producción Agropecuaria, Consejeria de Agricultura, Junta de Comunidades de Castilla La Mancha, Marchamalo, Guadalajara, Spain
Environ Microbiol 10:1374-9. 2008..ceranae spores still remain viable and their infectivity is shown after artificial infection of Nosema-free 8-day-old adult bees. The epidemiological consequences of the presence of Nosema spores in this fomites are discussed...- The effect of induced queen replacement on Nosema spp. infection in honey bee (Apis mellifera iberiensis) coloniesCristina Botías
Laboratorio de Patología Apícola, Centro Apicola Regional, JCCM, 19180 Marchamalo, Spain
Environ Microbiol 14:845-59. 2012..The ovaries and ventriculi of queens in infected colonies revealed no signs of Nosema infection and there were no lesions in ovarioles or epithelial ventricular cells... 
Outcome of colonization of Apis mellifera by Nosema ceranaeRaquel Martín-Hernández
Regional Apicultural Center, Junta de Comunidades de Castilla La Mancha, 19180 Marchamalo, Spain
Appl Environ Microbiol 73:6331-8. 2007..A significant causative association between the presence of N. ceranae and hive depopulation clearly indicates that the colonization of Apis mellifera by N. ceranae is related to bee losses...- The growing prevalence of Nosema ceranae in honey bees in Spain, an emerging problem for the last decadeCristina Botías
Centro Apícola Regional CAR, Dirección General de la Producción Agropecuaria, Consejeria de Agricultura, Junta de Comunidades de Castilla La Mancha, 19180 Marchamalo, Spain
Res Vet Sci 93:150-5. 2012..The current prevalence of nosemosis, primarily due to N. ceranae, has reached epidemic levels in Spain as confirmed by the analysis of worker honey bees and commercial honey... - Effect of temperature on the biotic potential of honeybee microsporidiaRaquel Martín-Hernández
Centro Apicola Regional, Bee Pathology laboratory, Dirección General de Desarrollo Rural, Consejeria de Agricultura, Junta de Comunidades de Castilla La Mancha, 19180 Marchamalo, Spain
Appl Environ Microbiol 75:2554-7. 2009..ceranae was higher than that of N. apis. The better adaptation of N. ceranae to complete its endogenous cycle at different temperatures clearly supports the observation of the different epidemiological patterns... - The prevalence of Acarapis woodi in Spanish honey bee (Apis mellifera) coloniesEncarna Garrido-Bailón
Bee Pathology laboratory, Centro Apicola Regional, Junta de Comunidades de Castilla La Mancha, 19180 Marchamalo, Spain
Exp Parasitol 132:530-6. 2012..woodi and other species (Acarapis dorsalis and Acarapis externus) at the molecular level. Furthermore, the patterns of genetic divergence across sequences raised serious doubts about the current classification of these organisms... - Microsporidia infecting Apis mellifera: coexistence or competition.

J Invertebr Pathol 110:108-13. 2012..koschevnikovi from Borneo. Our findings provide further support for the hypothesis that N. ceranae has only recently emerged from Asia to become a parasite of A. mellifera... - Comparison of the energetic stress associated with experimental Nosema ceranae and Nosema apis infection of honeybees (Apis mellifera)Raquel Martín-Hernández
Bee Pathology laboratory, Centro Apicola Regional, JCCM, San Martín s n, 19180 Marchamalo, Guadalajara, Spain
Parasitol Res 109:605-12. 2011..The repercussions of this increased energetic stress may even explain the changes in host behavior due to starvation, lack of thermoregulatory capacity, or higher rates of trophallaxis, which might enhance transmission and bee death... - How natural infection by Nosema ceranae causes honeybee colony collapseMariano Higes
