Last month scientists at Reno'sWhittemore Peterson Institute and the Cleveland Clinic published the results of a study that found the retrovirus XMRV present in more than 95 percent of chronic fatigue patients.

Though it has not been proven that XMRV causes the neuro-immune disease, scientists say there is a direct link.

Following the announcement of the discovery the institute received an outpouring of requests of testing for the retrovirus, according to a publicist.

Now, a state certified labratory in Reno is offering diagnostic testing for XMRV in cooperation with the institute.
