Thanks everyone for the kind words. It has been a fun and educational journey.
Yes, AntónioGinjaGinja, diseases are a natural part of nature, it is unclear at this point if this is a normal thing that has been going on or if this one is something new or if this one is something old, that was just under-documented. I will be asking some friends in the know and post what I find out.
Congrats Lisa!
