Dr. Cynthia Scott-Dupree has done a lot of work on viruses.  I think she is
still at Guelph.  Forgot to ask her when I met up with her at Apimondia in
Ireland.  For more information type "black queen cell virus" into Google and
you will get a lot of hits.  Some will most likely be of no use but others
will.
