摘要

Bromenshenk's teams have also been involved in searching for the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). In fact, it was at his suggestion that CCD not be named a "disease" as such, which would have been too limiting, but instead a generalized condition or "disorder." He has also been actively conducting a beekeeper survey via the World Wide Web as part of a formal CCD Working Group that was formed several years ago. In the recent past CCD was highly correlated with a virus known as Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV). This remains controversial, but many investigators and beekeepers believe several honey bee viruses may be a big part of the CCD puzzle. More recently, in October 2010 Bromenshenk and his co-authors published their paper, "Iridovirus and Microsporidian Linked to Honey Bee Colony Decline", which has received much attention in the media, as well as in the bee research community.
