Climate region implication on Nosema load and correlations between VIL and Nosema infection. (a) Monthly longitudinal display of average spores per climate region. (b) Overall spore average per climate region. (c) Regression line and coefficient of Varroa mite load and Nosema spore count. (d) Correlation of Varroa mite infestation and Nosema infection conducted by average year load. The correlation was conducted at p < 0.05 cutoff, R-values are given within pairwise correlation circles, only significant correlations are displayed, and blank squares were not significant. Box plots with different alphabetic letters are statistically significant.
