Not at all Steve! This group IS ground zero for KHV reseach. These are the folks who identified the Myron Kibus samples from the MAKC Long Island NY chapter show and vendor fair. This event is THE event where the mystery disease was finally identified after rambling around Israeli shipments, British outbreak pockets and Taiwanese shipments.

In fact, Scott Weber is in possession of probably the largest sample collection of KHV outbreaks anywhere. This guy is very good and very well established in this epidemic's history ( head Veterinarian for Camdam Aquarium and Boston's aquarium) . Of course, this is also the home of the researcher who is credited with having done more studies on this disease than anyone at this point- Ron Hedrick. He was the one who identified the virus that Kibus collected.
That question is a data point question.
