Hi Aaron. What is with the '(?)' in the name
'Orchid fleck (?) rhabdovirus'? And I see that this is the only virus
listed for Paphs in the site given above. I had 2 Paphs turn up
positive on the single well ELISA test for CMV. My assumption is that the
web site given above is not very complete, in fact, very incomplete would be a
better description. I think that this fact should be pointed out to those
who might peruse this page. http://image.fs.uidaho.edu/vide/famly094.htm Do you think maybe I should I have had these plants retested with
the double well test?
Is there a lab doing ELISA testing for Orchid fleck
(?) rhabdovirus?
