Is My EE got a virus?

Summerville, SC(Zone 8a)

A lot of the leaves on my elephant ears are starting to turn bright yellow. It's actually kind of pretty but worrisome. Do EE get viruses? Is the a problem? Is there a fix? The picture is of one starting to turn. It's happening on large and small leaves.

Thanks!

I was going to post a thread on this as soon as I took a picture of my EE's this afternoon. I've never seen this before; mine started out slow and now entire plants are starting to do it. I'm very interested in what others have to say about this.

I'm hoping someone can tell me .. I searched the net and didn't come up with anything.

This is what the leaves look like at the end.

I dug them up and didn't really find any mushy spots. Here is a cross cut picture of some of the larger corms .. I'm thinking those brown bits are rot?

Here are some of the smaller ones.

If nobody here knows, you might try the aroid forum--if this is a common problem (or even a less common one) for EE's I bet someone over there would know what's going on.

Actually I went over there already after 20 looks and no answers ..
