Virus infections and winter losses of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera) (2010, background): “Further complicating the picture are novel factors such as the introduction of new pests (e.g. small hive beetles, Neumann and Ellis, 2008 and the microsporidian parasite Nosema ceranae MartinHernandez et al., 2007).”

Surveys as a tool to record winter losses of honey bee colonies: a two year case study in Austria and South Tyrol (2010, background): “So far, Europe has been spared by the small hive beetle Aethina tumida (Neumann and Ellis, 2008), but Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite also suspected of causing colony collapse (Higes et al., 2008), can be found in Austria (Loncaric et al., 2007).”
Quo vadis Aethina tumida? Biology and control of small hive beetles (2016, background): “…in queen cages and the rigorous sanitation measures (killing of all bees and destruction of destination apiaries) successfully prevented this introduction (Murilhas 2004; Neumann and Ellis 2008; Valério da Silva 2014), probably because very few specimens were introduced and the detection was early.”
