BEE VIRUS DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE - SURVEY
Dr. Don Stoltz, Virologist, Department of Microbiology and
Immunology, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, is
currently involved in a project to improve the technology for the
diagnosis of honey bee viruses. It is expected that a diagnostic
service for some viruses (e.g. Kashmir, black queen cell) could be
available by the end of 1993.
Conceivably, a general diagnostic service (i.e., for most if not
all bee viruses) could be developed, in time, if sufficient
interest/need was identified, and some sort of funding arrangement
could be negotiated. At this time, we would like responses to the
following questions:
[1] DO YOU REQUIRE BEE VIRUS DIAGNOSIS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS?
[2] IF ONLY A LIMITED DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE COULD BE PROVIDED, WHICH
VIRUSES ARE OF MOST CONCERN TO YOU?
[3] WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR DIAGNOSIS WORK DONE NOW?
[4] HOW MANY SAMPLES AT ANY ONE TIME?
[5] WOULD YOU USE THE SERVICE IF AVAILABLE IN NOVA SCOTIA?
[6] WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO PAY A NOMINAL FEE PER SAMPLE FOR THIS
SERVICE?
It would be appreciated if replies could be returned to Dick Rogers
as soon as possible.
