occurring over a year ago,' resulted In a quarantine of the catfish farm by the Stole Department of Fish and Game, a quarantine which Is 'still In effect.

Is using the university's electron'
microscope to develop a rapid

reduce the time needed for a preliminary laboratory diagnosis of
the disease. This could allow the
catfish farmer time to disinfect
the vlral-lnfected tanks and ponds
and stop the spread of the virus.
