I had to laugh Niecy as it seems we are thinking alike--both your post and my prior post have the exact same first reference from Blackwells. It was finding this article which led me to the possible connection of a foreign virus (to humans anyway) which could be connected somehow to what is happening in morgellons. These viruses may be found in a lot of farmed fish, wild fish, and amphibians as well as insects. Now I am wondering if this virus could have made a leap across the great divide to humans, either by eating fish of some sort, even frog legs, or from being bitten by an infected insect. This type of virus is naturally iridescent. Suppose this virus can make the leap because there are already viruses in the body which enable it to do this. Jo has mentioned one in her post just above. Maybe that is what this mimi virus has done successfully. Maybe it is not the only one to have done so. And it is evidently a large virus too. There just are many what if situations. Such as what if this virus is being inserted transgenically into foods we are eating. Meant to kill insect predators, but somehow maybe becoming tangled up into our bodies and making us sick. Well pure speculation of course.
Here is a chart of viruses and it looks as if the only iridescent virus is the iridovirus family (at least on this chart):
Virus Taxonomy
Here is a short paper which discusses the colors reflected in iridovirus infected insects:
Invertebrate iridescent viruses (Iridovirus, Iridoviridae)
"The small IIVs (genus Iridovirus) tend to display colours from violet to turquoise. The large IIVs, that infect mosquito and midge larvae (genus Chloriridovirus), tend to display colours from green to orange or red."
