Virus in Clivia
J.E. Shields (Mon, 15 Sep 2003 10:54:36 PDT)

Hi all,

I just had some clivias tested at an Indiana laboratory (Agdia, Elkhart,
IN) for apparent virus infection. They did not find any of their usual
list of agriculturally significant viruses, but I would like to know what
viruses have been confirmed in Clivia in the past, and where these might be
tested for.

Can anyone help me?

I don't have access to the plant pathology literature, but I can forward
any lit. refs. on to the nursery inspectors.
