    Does anyone know where I can get a complete list of the viruses that are known to affect orchids? I am stuck in a bureaucratic loop where a country is requesting the Ag dept certify that none of my flasks would contain any of a list of viruses put out by the importation country. I'm hoping to get a list of known orchid viruses to check against the prohibited list. Thanks

    Here is a partial list. It's partial because there are many more viruses discovered since 2001 (and my other literatures are at my work). Also genus/family name may be outdated. This is probably a good info to add to Wikipedia. I'm learning a little about editing Wikipedia, and starting to add more orchid info to Wikipedia. So when I have time, I might work on it.

    From:
    Inouye, N. 2001. Genshoku Ran-no Virus-byou, Shindan, Kentei, Boujo (English translation: Orchid Virus: Diagonostics, Detection, and Prevetion) Noubunkyou, Tokyo, Japan.

    There is an English version of this book, but it is fairly difficult to get it:
