I have no idea, I'll look into it.
One ray of hope is that the virologist colleague did say that OFV is mainly transmitted by mites. Unless I have an invasion of microscopic, non red type mites, it's been many years since I've had a mite problem. So I'm going to try something for the coming months. I read that a cinnamon steeped 70% isopropyl solution can be pretty effective at killing a number of diseases, and mites. So I'll wipe down all the leaves, and also improve culture by adding some fans for air movement, and using my lights again to supplement the poor level of winter daylight. If I see an improvement and no symptoms on the young leaves, then it would indicate cultural issues leading to disease rather than OFV.
