Should we all be concerned about this or is it just "newspaper" hype.
It appears to be linked to rats etc..

found this article in this mornings Metro newspaper, might be of interest to some people.

Best 'informed' article on IBD I've come across so far:

Read something about it yesterday, the only new info is they may have found the virus that causes IBD, so wether that means they might be able to find a cure eventually.

IBD has been around for a while - think it only affects pythons and boas
Still pretty scary!
