They find inclusions, yes, with a microscope, which are evidence of some sort of viral activity. This they have named "IBD", which they beleive is a retrovirus because a very reputable Reptile Vet has hypothesis such, and has been saying and writing for twenty years. He used to say it was air born too, but that changed.
Take any dead Boa to any Reptile vet, any day of the week, and they WILL find inclusions. Let me say that again, take any dead Boa, to any Reptile vet, anywhere, any day of the week, and they WILL find inclusions.
