Why were they sent to the UK? Why was CPV found in those samples and not in
> others?

Well we felt we needed the best advice so we approached Dr. Brenda Ball & 
Dr. Norman Carrick for advice. CPV is a common found virus in bee samples.

If you wanted advice on virus issues would you turn to the U.S.D.A which 
back then simply classed everything as PMS or go to the U.K. for virus 
expert opinion Chris? Be honest?

I expect CPV was found in some of the CCD samples. Jerry would know better 
than me.
