Yup. Stuff like this. Makes for good reading when I'm at my computer
with a pipefull of good tobacco and a cup of coffee at 5 in the
morning when no one wants to come out and play. A couple of reasonably
documented articles showed evidence that the "virus" has been
transferred by healthy "carriers". I don't believe I am going to find
a single answer that all agree on - but I can, already am, weighing
whatever I find. My gut feeling is that yes this is a serious concern,
but yes, it is also being used too often as an excuse for poor
husbandry,either in the home aquarium or at the suppliers end. I want
to be well informed before I plunk down a hundred bucks or more from a
mail order dealer.

Tell me how to find Google scholar. Please.

http://scholar.google.com. It's pretty nice, especially if you use the
advanced search and restrict the articles by date to the more recent
research.

When you've formed an opinion, I'd love to hear the details. One of
these years (when I can finally afford it) I'm getting altums and the
more I know, the better.
