[Kuta, Gerry]

You may have to go south to get a level 2 or higher plant disease
diagnostic lab for a quarantined environment.

Do any of you know where I might get a sample of wood cultured to 
identify a pathogen. The sample will be imported from Asia so I need a 
laboratory that can handle the import permits and probably one that can 
quarantine the sample and work on it in a quarantined environment.
