The doseage for using Fumagillin was not included in the report!.
I do not think that CCD is caused by a single causative agent.

I t hought a Spanish CCD research team claimed success in naming Nosema Ceranae as the culpit last year, with other research teams saying 'not so fast, guys...'. The CCD causationjury is still out last I've read.
