To obtain blood samples, the researchers prick each toadfish's tail. To collect urine, they attach balloons to the excretory ducts of the toadfish, let them swim around for several days in a briny tank, take the urine-filled balloons to the laboratories for study...

But in trying to isolate the virus, laboratory scientists have been faced with a forbidding problem.
