Oh good... I was worried everyone would think I'd posted an April Fools bit... and couldn't remember hearing anything about it before I came upon a reference to it yesterday..
I geuss when I read of it I was worried it was somehow responsible for branches to wither and die on otherwise healthy looking brugs.. Just what would cause this.. part of the information I had on the virus... thought it was spread by aphids...mitess..or some other little insect...
Guess I should be warey of any brugs with an unusual varaigation..least it be the mosaic look of the virus.. funny the nursery owner thought someone had somehow passed it onto his plants.. what a gift... I wonder just where the person might have got the virus to pass along.. some jealous brug a hollic no doubt..
I don't guess there is any danger of having picked this up in out romp through the jungles a month or so ago ...do you.. I'll have to get out the electron beam microscope and check mine out..
Well thanks again...Gordon
