May it all be as it is, BUT I think it is important to point one thing out...
Quarantine IS VERY IMPORTANT.
I think some herpers could take this information as in "oh well, quarantine can't prevent this IBD, so why bother..."
Research is still ongoing. Bugs can "evolve" and change. Some people have "hands on" experience, others work in labs, etc etc. Not all cases are "textbook" or the same.
It IS a devastating disease. One should do "all they can" to prevent ending up with it. Be vigilant about "who" and "where" you buy from. Practice good husbandry, quarantine and cleanliness. There are also other devastating bugs that can end up wiping out your collection...
I'm not going against anyones research, experience or new facts. To most of us its a no-brainer to continue being vigilant, practicing quarantine, etc etc. But I also know that some people are slack about it, and could possible take this info and use it as "why bother, won't change a thing about final outcome" reasoning.
I know this is not meant to be taken this way, just thought I'd point it out
