| Henry, I won't get to the ag library to read the article for several days. It is interesting and sad. That they call for immediate quarantine could have serious repercussions (and we have to wonder why no one did this fifteen years ago). Did they say what time of the year (temp conditions) they examined the plants for the vector? |

| Ann this is a "Accepted for publication" reference. I do not know when the actual issue will come out or whether there will be more information than is presented above. Your best bet may be to contact one of the authors. In the past I have found the University of Florida authors very easy to talk to. I would also expect that anyone connected with a federal lab would also be approachable. |
