The recent revision of the genera Nosema and Vairimorpha (Microsporidia: Nosematidae) was flawed and misleads bee scientific community.

Résumé
The genus Vairimorpha was proposed for several species of Nosema in 1976 (Pilley, 1976), almost 70 years after Nosema apis Zander (Zander, 1909). Tokarev and colleagues proposed the redefinition of 17 microsporidian species in four genera, Nosema, Vairimorpha, Rugispora, and Oligosporidium, based on the unrooted phylogenetic tree of two genetic markers (SSU rRNA and RPB1) (Tokarev et al., 2020). Several issues should invalidate this new classification.
