Based on a preliminary Babelfish translation, the German article appears to be about the "Lily Mottle Virus", a different though closely related virus that attacks primarily lilies. -- Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty | Averted crashes 20:19, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
The lead talks of the Tulip mania but this is not discussed in the text - surely there needs to be a brief section on this? Similarly, reference is made at the end to fine 'broken' tulips but these had not been mentioned until then. Needs tidying, with a section describing the commercial importance of tulips, the virus and the mania, and probably the aftermath too. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 19:03, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Since "Tulip breaking virus" is not a systematic name or even a single virus, there is no reason to put it in italics. Unfortunately {{
Virusbox}}
still applies italics automatically and provides no way to turn them off.
