Very very interesting guys.

"when bringing fungal samples out of storage, Roossinck serendipitously discovered that freezing destroys the virus but not its host"

I find it quite evident that here in NZ, we have such a diverse climate throughout such a small area, virus and bacteria are able to thrive in warm climates especially but in areas with high climatic change diseases are unable to survive even though the host continues to thrive.
