Hello All,

>Are you refereing to Ebola or E. coli?

Ebola  (sorry for the typo)

>The former is a non-spore
forming virus

Not according to everything I have read.

573,000 hits for virus spores on google. Perhaps the term *virus spores*
paints all virus with a broad brush.

DWV spores is what beekeeping researchers have said. Based on their input we
are running large and expensive tests to determine it a swarm (package)
hived on prior PMS comb is more susceptible than a swarm hived on new comb.

Perhaps the word " virus spore" is slang for whatever agent is present on
the comb .

I am not a researcher so will gladly admit to being wrong if indeed a virus
does not use spores.

Bob
