I am FAR from an expert on chams in general and even less of an expert on Jacks having never kept one. But, the sentence that jumped out in your OP was that a bio-control is being used for veiled populations. Can you get information about what and where this is being used? Bio-control (bc) is ALWAYS a subject for controversy since it often impacts non-target species and realized too late. Sometimes a seemingly benign bc is being used to keep a certain insect population in check, but the whole food chain is forgotten (ever read Silent Spring?) and the next one up the food chain ingests and becomes ill or dies. I work with Lepidoptera (moths/butterflies) a lot and this question arises often. Therefore, I have an interest in bio-control in general and would be interested to know anything you may find out.
Again, not an expert, but could this be a fungal disorder? I'll leave the rest to the more experienced...
