velvet redux



Once more, I've been asked by Dr. Ed Noga at NCSU Vet School for live fish 
infected
with velvet. His group thinks that velvet consists of at least two kinds of 
microbes, and that one or both may be an entirely different kind of parasite 
than we currently believe. He need live velvet (on fish) so one part of the 
team can fix skin or gill tissue and observe the bugs under the scanning 
electron microscope, while the other part of the team uses PCR technology to 
analyze the DNA and compare it with other things to establish relationships. 
If anyone has velvet infected fish, please ship to me at my office to arrive 
during a weekday, and I'll get the fish to Dr. Noga. Thanks.
