I think we should separate the topic Varrioatosis into its own article...I am not an expert on this subject, but it appears that other species of Varroa cause varrioatosis in other species of honeybee...it is not limited to varroa destructor infesting apis mellifera and thus should not simply be a topic in this article --Erudy 16:17, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
