However, we have repeatedly stated that we have an iridovirus like pathogen, more similar to IIV-6 than 11V-24, and suspect its not been sequenced. We are in the process of doing inoculations, but were unsuccessful in getting USDA to fund isolation and sequencing of the virus, which is a great frustration.
