On the cane toad question: I heard a quick news item on Triple J that
Australia was importing a "Venzualan virus" to deal with the cane toad
problem.  Does anyone know of which type of "virus" this might be ?

[I am always suspicious of media reports on science. The local media in Darwin
recently ran stories of "a flesh-eating killer virus" in greyhounds that
turned out to be Group G streptococci.]
