Values are the number of colony samples (n = 61 for CCD and n = 63 for non-CCD) in which the pathogen was detected at any level. The likelihood ratio chi-square test of contingency was used to compute the probability of equal pathogen incidence in CCD and non-CCD colonies. ABPV = acute bee paralysis virus; DWV = deformed wing virus; SBV = sacbrood virus; BQCV = black queen cell virus; IAPV = Israeli acute paralysis virus; KBV = Kashmir bee virus; NC = Nosema ceranae; NA = Nosema apis.
