In 1909 Zander showed that a protozoon,[sic] named by him Nosema apis, is found abundantly in the mid-intestine of adult bees and he associated this organism in a causal relationship with the death of many thousands of colonies annually.

To the germ Zander (1909) gave the name Nosema apis and for the disease he (1911) used the name "Nosema-seuche."

The oval bodies studied by Zander and those studied by Dönhoff in all probability are the same. To Zander, however, is due the credit for having determined their true nature. Together with Döflein he (1909) classified the germ as a protozoan (a one-celled animal parasite) belonging to the group Microsporidia and to the genus Nosema. Zander gave the name Nosema apis to the species he found in the honeybee.

Nosema Disease of the Honeybee¶ (Microsporidiosis, or Nosemosis, of the Honeybee)¶ Nosema disease of the honeybee, Apis mellifera Linn., is caused by Nosema apis Zander, a microsporidian parasite of the intestinal epithelium of adult bees.

Throughout the world, nosema disease probably occurs wherever bees live. In 1911, E. Zander (34)2 identified Nosema apis Zander, a spore-forming protozoan (class Sporozoa of the microsporidia), as responsible for nosema disease in the honey bee, Apis mellifera L. The parasite infects only adult bees.

Honey bee keepers recognize Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae as causative agents of one of the most common diseases of honey bees. The cosmopolitan disease caused by these microsporidians is called bee dysentery, nosemosis, or Nosema disease.

Nosema apis (Zander, 1909) is a microsporidian parasite of European honey bees, Apis mellifera.[…]¶Previously, nosemosis in European honey bees was attributed exclusively to N. apis (Ellis and Munn, 2005), with the recent exception of disease in regions of Asia and Europe that were ascribed to the closely-related Nosema ceranae (Higes et al., 2006; Huang et al., 2007).

The Nosema parasite invades the mid-gut cells, taking over the cells' function […] Only adult bees are affected. This parasite is far more virulent than Nosema apis which usually appears only during winter stress and then clears up when bees can fly freely in warm weather in the spring. In contrast, Nosema cerana, can kill a hive after just eight days […]

Two Nosema species have been related to pathology in the honeybee: Nosema apis (18) a parasite of Apis mellifera, the western honeybee, and Nosema ceranae (4), a parasite of Apis cerana, the eastern honeybee. Currently, however, N. ceranae is considered an emergent and important parasite of Apis mellifera (4).

Recent studies showed that Nosema ceranae, originally considered a microsporidian parasite of Eastern honey bees, Apis cerana, is a disease agent of nosemosis in European honey bees, Apis mellifera, along with the resident species, Nosema apis.

Nosema disease in U.S. honey bees is caused by one of two (or both) fungi named Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae. Nosema species are obligate, fungus-like, intra-cellular parasites that are limited to specific hosts species.

Adult honey bees worldwide are afflicted by nosemosis, which has been caused historically by Nosema apis, and more recently the Asian species, Nosema ceranae, has been implicated as playing a major role (Chen et al. 2008).
